Maori Warrior ~ The native Polynesian people of New Zealand are called Maori. They arrived in New Zealand from Polynesia in several waves some time before 1300 AD. When I think of a "call" to be a warrior, there is not much matching the War Haka of the Maori Warrior. Different types of hakas, are performed by both genders. The most fierce is the War Haka. Traditional before battle; demonstrated viciousness, personal strength, and intimidation. Of course, to scare the crap out of the enemy.
