What do they wear while performing the hakka?

Traditionally a Haka is performed by a group called a Kapa Haka. Both men and women were a Piupiu (a dried flax skirt, men's are short, women's are longer). Men go bare chested while women wear a Pari (bodice) traditionally in red, white, and black cross stitched patterns starting from the centre of a panel outwards. Tipare are the plaited flax headbands worn, and the leaders of a Kapa Haka will sometimes wear a cloak made from feathers called a Korowai. You will also sometimes see ceremonial weapons called Hoi and Taiaha. Women also carry Poi - balls on the end of ropes used in the choreography of a Haka.
