Hakka culture
Hakka culture () refers to the culture created by Hakka people, a Han Chinese subgroup, across Asia. It encompasses the shared language, various art forms, food culture, folklore, and traditional customs. Hakka culture stemmed from the culture of Ancient Han Chinese, who migrated from China's central plain to what is modern day's Southern China during the 6th to 13th century, and intermixed with local non-Han ethnic groups such as the Miao people. It has also been influenced by the cultures of surrounding Han Chinese groups, such as the Cantonese and the Hoklo. Having historically lived in the mountains of Southern China and being minority groups in many of the surrounding Chinese provinces, Hakka have developed a culture characterized by reservedness, stability, and frugality.
Māori culture
"Kapa haka" ("haka" groups) often come together to practice and perform cultural items such as "waiata" or songs, especially action songs, and "haka" for entertainment. "Poi" dances may also form part of the repertoire. Traditional instruments sometime accompany the group, though the guitar is also commonly used. Many New Zealand schools now have a "kapa haka" as part of the Māori studies curriculum. Today, national "kapa haka" competitions are held where groups are judged to find the best performers; these draw large crowds. The common expression ""kapa haka group"" is strictly speaking, a tautology.
