It’s beautiful seeing culture celebrated and not suppressed as Jason Momoa, family and friends perform the haka on the Aquaman red carpet.
It IS beautiful, and I’m glad that there’s recognition of the
Māori
culture reflected in the film. I’m just confused because Jason is Hawaiian?
After a quick google, I found this article by
Peata Melbourne, a veteran Māori broadcaster (and who’s daughter’s father is one of the men performing the haka with Jason), which sums up my discomfort with it.
