The Haka was a Maori war dance used to intimidate the enemy, prepare for combat, and demonstrate the power, strength and unity of the tribe. It is a dance made up of heavy stomping, grimacing and body percussion, set to chilling, rhythmic music.  The Haka comes from a Maori legend that tells the story of Tama-nui-te-ra, the sun god, and Hine-raumati, one of his wives, who is the reincarnation of summer. Together they had a son named Tane-rore. Therefore, in midsummer, when there are these trembling airs, it is believed to be Tane-rore dancing for his mother. So, it is danced to honour them.  Now it has been implemented in the business environment to encourage bonding between workers and to manifest the authority and energy that the company has.
