you can find videos of it on youtube. we have done it the past few years, but nt that much this year, it really lost its meaning. We used to have alot of samoan and tongan players but this year we only had 1, then he got locked up for attempted murder so we didnt have any islanders last few weeks of seasons so we pretty much just stoped doing it all together

check out the response that the Scots give for the "william Lawson's Scotch" commercial. Outrageous.

I went to college in Cali and some of my roomates where from Hawaii and they taught me the HAKA. I did a post about it a long time ago BYU, Hawaii, and I THINK Utah may do it as well as many high schools in Hawaii, Utah, WA, Oregon, and Cali and even 1 in TX that has many Samoan the school is called Trinity High School in Euless, TX they have some sweet videos of there haka as well all can be seen on youtube.com.

When I played rugby we played a team that had an islander and they did a Haka. It was pretty cool.
Do any HS teams that do it have sportsmanship complaints from opponents or officials?

Use it if you're not a Kiwi? It's kinda insulting if you use this for your Football team because it looks cool. At least check out the history and get it right.
What is it with Hawai? It's not from there or is it? Why do they use it?

its a pacific islander traditional war dance. the folks with polynesian heritage use it as motvation before games. hawaii has a ton of polynesians on there team as do many of the national teams from new zealand and such south pacific places.
euless texas has the largest population of tongans outside of hawaii in the usa. and don't mistake togo for samoa, those guys don't like to be called samoan, they are tongan. anyway trinity hs in euless has been one of the most successfull hs teams in texas for a long time and the tongans are a big reason for that success. it is the tongans who introduced the haka to trinity and the whole team and community have embraced the tradition even coming out an hour before games to watch.

Phantom,
Interesting note about the sportsmanship thing, when the NZ All Blacks used to this, they would face their fans. It was not meant to be projected towards their opponents. But recentlly, with the professionalization and commercialization or rugby, the All Blacks started facing their opponents, some would suggest to make it more dramatic and therfore more marketable. So I guess my point is if schools who use this use it in the traditional way(facing their fans) it probably wouldn't be a sportsmanship issue.

It's led to fight filled games out here when they do it facing the opponent pregame as you might guess.
