The Haka Party Incident

“On May 1st, 1979, a group of young Māori and Pasifika activists, which later became known as “”He Taua””, confronted engineering students at the University of Auckland who were rehearsing a “mock” haka for their end-of-year parade.
The clash that followed forced the entire nation to confront systemic racism and set in motion a process of real change.”
