[edit] Ka Panapana

Is Ka Panapana the Black Ferns' haka? I thought I'd better ask, because I've seen the Black Ferns' haka (when they played against Canada earlier this month) and I'm not sure if it's "Ka Panapana" or some other haka.

Maybe it's the Black Ferns version of "Kapa o Pango"? Nil Einne 16:31, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] BYU Haka controversy

I took the time to cleanup a section about the BYU Haka being perceived as offensive. This section is factually based, cites its sources, and is NPOV. This, and the previous section, have been removed several times by editors who often make sweeping changes to other BYU/LDS articles. I think the section uses NPOV language and is sympathetic to all involved. Changing the language is entirely possible, but this section is entirely relevent to how Haka is perceived in popular culture. Please, lets discuss this before it becomes an edit war.

[edit] William Lawson's

Added the section regarding the recent viral video for William Lawson's scotch. BruceWiley 04:27, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spice Girls

Didn't the Spice Girls get criticised for doing a Haka? apparently only men were allowed to do it. Totnesmartin 21:40, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
