The Haka Party Incident
The Haka Party Incident
The last New Zealand War happened in 1979. It lasted three minutes.
On May 1st, 1979, a group of young Māori and Pasifika activists, He Taua, confronted a gathering of University of Auckland engineering students as they rehearsed their ‘mock’ haka for their capping parade.
The fracas that followed prompted the nation to confront systemic racism and instigate change for a better and more equal partnership between Pākehā and Māori.

“One of the very best NZ films of the year… a must watch.”
