A Danish MP, Marie Kraup, has criticised the powhiri she received as a welcome into New Zealand. Marie Kraup said that the powhiri was 'uncivilised and grotesque.' Marie Kraup later said that what she said was out of 'context and translated incorrectly.' She wrote an article about it saying 'she was welcomed by a half naked man shouting in Maori and poking his tongue out.'
My option:
I think that it should be optional because the haka actually is a war dance and it may be taken the wrong way.
