Since neither Brian nor Peter saw fit to explain what a "haka" might be, I looked it up on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haka).

"The haka (plural is the same as singular: haka) is a traditional ancestral war cry, dance, or challenge from the Māori people of New Zealand. It is a posture dance performed by a group, with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment."

"War haka were originally performed by warriors before a battle, proclaiming their strength and prowess in order to intimidate the opposition, but haka are also performed for various reasons: for welcoming distinguished guests, or to acknowledge great achievements, occasions or funerals, and kapa haka performance groups are very common in schools."

In line with Peter's suggestion, I think I'll have my staff perform a records management haka for our next Senior Staff meeting. Wonder how long it will take them to learn ?

A good weekend to all,

Fred
