Hey, I´m a music teacher from Germany. As part of each lesson I show my students musical (and music-like) traditions from all ages and places, and let them guess where and when this music was created. A while ago I´ve shown them a haka of the All Blacks, first audio only so they could guess, then with the video. Since then, a group of 11 year olds is constantly asking me if we could perform a haka in the group. I myself would not be opposed to doing so, but I would want to do it with the necessary respect. So I thought I´d come here to ask: Would you find it disrespectful if a group of german children and their teacher performed a haka? If the responses here are positive, I´d follow this Wikihow for the actual performance. Thanks in advance for any responses.
Here is a suggestion for you.
Teach about the Haka, what it means, when it’s performed and why, how it came to being, what cultural significance it has etc.
Then ask your students to come up with something similar for their culture.
I think this would be a very neat way for the students to express their creativity and learn about and appreciate their own culture instead of mimicking another one.
