Kapa haka is a huge part of the maori culture and new zealand as a country. Tourists from all over the world are drawn to our country because of our culture and traditions. There are many competitions for kapa haka ranging from primary schools to adults and is taken very seriously to maori as a people. There are many types of songs and haka that is involved with a kapa haka bracket and each one has its own meaning behind it.Kiwi icons are not just the things that we eat or do but what makes us who we are as a country. Kapa haka has impacted me because I do a lot at school and I enjoy singing.
