Born from Culture:
Aotearoa
In this episode of Born from Culture, we head to Aotearoa New Zealand to explore kapa haka, the Māori performing art that blends song, dance, chant, and movement to tell stories and express identity. More than a performance, it's a living connection to whakapapa & whānau . Kapa haka is a tradition passed down through generations that continues to thrive today.
"For us, haka is an expression of pride and identity. It connects us to our ancestors, our culture, and our land. We share haka with the world because it's a celebration of who we are."
— Karl Burrows, GM Pou Ārahi Māori, Tourism New Zealand
