New Zealand Maori Haka Dancer Long Sleeve T-Shirt

While we were staying in Rotorua we visited Te Puia where, besides beautiful geothermal pools and geysers, you can also visit the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute, established in the 1920s to keep traditional māori arts and crafts alive and teach them to future generations. As part of the evening tour you also get to see a māori performance, which includes dance, songs and storytelling. One of the most famous dances performed which inspired this drawing is the haka, which inspired this design. The haka is a ceremonial dance or challenge in Māori culture. It is a posture dance performed by a group, with vigorous movements, stamping of the feet and facial contortions with rhythmically shouted accompaniment.
