In the New Zealand parliament, the haka dance once again.

The New Zealand parliament once again witnessed colorful scenes. The country's youngest member of parliament, 21-year-old Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, performed the haka dance in parliament.

THEY GOT EXCITED DURING THE VOTING

Videos of Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke performing the haka dance in parliament quickly went viral on social media. The young MP, who started dancing after tearing up a piece of paper, was joined by other members of parliament.

SHE HAD ALSO PERFORMED THE HAKA DANCE IN JANUARY

In her speech at the podium in January, Maipi-Clarke performed the haka dance "to represent her commitment to her roots and indigenous rights." In her speech, Maipi-Clarke highlighted the freedoms of indigenous people, stating, "I will die for you, but I will also live for you. I dedicate today's speech to all our children."

WHAT IS THE HAKA DANCE?

The Haka dance of the Māori is also known as a "war dance." Those who perform the Haka, which dates back to the 18th century, dance by showing the white part of their eyes while striking their bodies with their hands and stomping their feet on the ground.

Maipi-Clarke, elected from the Māori party, is the granddaughter of Taitimu Maipi, a well-known advocate for indigenous rights in the country. The young MP also maintains her presence in the news with messages shared in the Māori language.
