*daps* indeed it is, thank you sir.

Haka is a Maori war/battle dance. Siva tau or fa'alo is the Samoan dance, it is not called a Haka.

They're two completely different things, and have different meanings.

Hawaiian ancestry...
Ahupua'a - (ah-who-pooh-ah-ah)
ahupuaa_poster_marilyn.jpg


In old Hawaiʻi, ahupuaʻa was the common subdivision of the land. It consisted most frequently of a slice of an island that went from the top of the local mountain (volcano) to the shore, often following the boundary of a stream drainage. Each ahupuaʻa included a lowland mala (cultivated area) and upland forested region.[1] Ahupuaʻa varied in size depending on the economic means of the location and political divisions of the area.

Ahupuaʻa is derived from Hawaiian language ahu, meaning "heap" or "cairn", and puaʻa, pig. The boundary markers for ahupuaʻa were traditionally heaps of stones used to put offers to the island chief, which was often a pig.

There may have been two reasons for this kind of subdivision:

* travel: in many areas of Hawaiʻi, it is easier to travel up- and downstream than from stream valley to stream valley
* economy: having all climate zones and economic exploitation zones in each land division ensured that each could be self-sufficient for a large portion of its needs.

Rule over an ahupuaʻa was given out by the ruling chief to subordinate members of the aliʻi. On the larger mountains of Maui and Hawaiʻi, smaller ahupuaʻa extended up to about 6,000-8,000 feet elevation, while the higher elevations of an entire district would be included within a single large ahupuaʻa. These ahupuaʻa, such as Kaʻohe, Keauhou, Kap
