Native Americans, environmentalists and supporters have set up camp for the past few months near the Standing Rock Indian Reservation to keep a 1,000-mile long oil pipeline from crossing through tribal lands.
If completed, the project would carry 570,000 barrels of light crude oil per day from North Dakota's Bakken and Three Forks shale formations to Patoka, Illinois.
Climate activists are fighting against the pipeline since it would promote the extraction and use of more oil, which when burned emits planet-warming greenhouse gases.
Native Americans are concerned because the pipeline is planned to pass under the Missouri River, which provides drinking water for the Standing Rock Sioux.
An earlier proposal instead had the pipeline passing under the Missouri River north of the city of Bismark, North Dakota, according to the Bismark Tribune. But that plan was changed for reasons including worries that the pipeline could contaminate the city's water supply.
Following the viral haka, hundreds of Maori in New Zealand have taken to Facebook to show solidarity to Native Americans against the pipeline.
Television personality Te Hamua Nikora has set up a Facebook page called Haka with Standing Rock to post haka in support of protesters. It has already gathered 15k members and people are posting their haka of support:
A school of higher learning also held a stirring haka to show solidarity with the Sioux triube.
The Maori haka took place on the front lawns of Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi, an indigenous school in Whakatāne, Bay of Plenty.
"Whilst your local indigenous voice is being silenced, it is your global indigenous voice that will be heard,” the school posted on its Facebook page.
The video shows the haka starting with a karakia (traditional prayer) and a mihi (acknowledgement) to envoke and pay respect to the local ancestors and the “relatives in North Dakota” and their struggle for freedom.
“We encourage all other organisations to join in solidarity on behalf of our indigenous brothers and sisters of North Dakota.”
