Howie Tamati MBE and Ora Kihi will discuss the performance and development of haka by New Zealand’s national rugby league team the Kiwis.
Topics will include:
• The state of haka when Howie first played for the Kiwis and how that changed across notable victories against Australia during his time as captain.
•Cross-cultural considerations in the performance and meaning of haka in rugby league past and present.
•Ora’s creation of Te Iwi Kiwi for the Kiwis.
•The psychic and spiritual elements of haka: Te ihi, Te wehi, Te wana.
Join us at the National Library auditorium for a memorable discussion with two characters deeply involved in New Zealand rugby league.
