Maori chants are ritual, cultural expressions, not artistic, personal expressions.
The haka is a dance in Maori culture, often used to welcome guests. It involves chants in the Maori language.
A 'wero' is a challenge usually performed at a pōhiri (Maori welcome ceremony)
Because Te reo Maori is a language!!And without it maori people wouldn't be able to talk!!
A waiata is a Maori song performed at special occasions eg. Powhiri.
Haka
"Pimia" is not a traditional Maori name. It is possible that it is a modern or non-Maori name. Without a known origin, it's challenging to provide a specific meaning for this name in the Maori language.
word of mouth, visual images in art, observing and participating Whakapapa was passed through waiata moteatea (chants and songs), stories and whakatauki (proverbs). Young children were selected ver early to enter the Whare Wananga as protege's to study medicines, prayer, healing, laws etc by priests.
A maori poi is like when a female twirls it and sings while twirling or hitting the poi with two or one hand they usually use the poi when they're performing on stage, entertainment, on the maere (meeting carving house) or etc. If you watch kapa haka, on youtube, maori televison or on te reo, you'll mostly see them performing the poi in kapa haka. For more info, search up kapa haka and there is loads of information on poi. Hopefully that answered your question XD
