And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

HAKA - The Trojan Style. One of the best Hakas ever.
I joined ship in, New Zealand back in 2015 or so, the year of that earthquake, which we recorded on our seismic system, by the way. I saw a haka given in honor of a guy who was about to be married. Impressive to be standing near one of these as it's performed.
I believe this might be Euless Trinity HS (DFW suburb). Late 50's or 60's the opening of an aerospace facility had a bunch of these folks emigrate from Samoa, I think. I could be off on some details. Powerhouse program.

definately Trinity Trojans. My daughter went to school there. Euless, Texas has a large concentration of Tongan neighbors.
