Haka: Ka Mate, Ka Mate
Ka Mate was composed by Chief Te Rauparaha of Ngāti Toa in 1820. He was being chased by an enemy and needed to find shelter. He was offered shelter by another chief Te Wharerangi and his wife(known as the hairy woman) who let him hide in one of his kūmara pits. Thanks to chief Te Wharerangi and his wife, Te Rauparaha lived to see the sun again.
