New Zealand MP performs haka in powerful maiden speech, resurfaced video shows
A New Zealand MP made a powerful speech in Maori language for her first appearance in parliament, resurfaced video shows.
Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, 21, first spoke in parliament on 12 December, performing a traditional haka.
She is the youngest MP to be elected to New Zealand’s parliament in 170 years, after James Stuart-Wortley, who was elected in 1853 aged 20 years and 7 months.
Maipi-Clarke was emotional in the chamber as she said: “We have arrived. We are here. We are sailing. We are navigating, just like our ancestors once did, in the biggest ocean in the world.“
