I most confess: this caught my attention trough a react-to-video by Highly Combustible Reacts [HXC} find that out by yourself {JdeB]
A stance to live by:
"we don't own the land. We we belong here we don't own the lien we belong to it and while we hear we are the guardians of that land"
If this sounds familiar, why not live by it.
the Haka:
WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF ACTEAROA
WE HOLD THE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR ANCESTORS
WE STAND PROUD, WE STAND STRONG
WE SEEK THE PATH TO SUCCES
WE CARRY THE LEGASY OF THE FURTURE GENERATIONS
WE ARE THE LAND
THE LAND IS US
HERE WE BELONG
WE WILL RISE TO THE CHALLENGE
ALWAYS
Of course this is an AmericanEnglish translation, it always loses something 
I never had ancestors myself. Of course i did, but many things were silenced. On my mother's side: my gandma was a [part] jewish refugee from before the war from Eastern Europe. She was the silent one. On my fathers side: that grandma was telling about the successes 'her husband' had nade before the war. But I got the impression he was rather on the 'meek' side.
So nothing coherent to base myself upon. But I feel Dutch. #StopDutchFascism
" I think it's a spirit that when a haka has done well that's what captures people and they may not be Maori"
