Re: [UH Warrior] This is Haka, err Ha'a Nation
So, is it okay if one were to write/create one's own original haka?
Perhaps whoever at Kahuku HS should write one specifically for (and unique to) Kahuku HS.
As for the "inappropriate and lazy" statement in your post, well, they're maori's sons (and daughter?). As elders and parents, you gotta teach them about not giving away their culture, regardless that they're trying to express their culture in a foreign environment as much as hula dancing in Alaska. Instead of just scolding them, establish a haka composition class, so they can write and chant their own straight from the heart and soul.
