Default If no one on the BYU football team is Maori

why would BYU do the Haka?

What's up with Samoans and Tongans so closely identifying with a dance that isn't from their history?

The Samoan Ward in my stake growing up did the haka.

I just asked my Samoan friend and he says he has no idea why Samoans love the haka. He hates it.

And Samoans have their own war dance, the Sipi Tau.
