Hakkas are like Maoris - both descendants of the same bunch going back a bit. The Maori haka [war dance chant] derives from Hakka*.

It took both the English and the Haka [Maori] blokes about 30,000 years** to get here after first moving out of Africa, with English heading north and Hakka heading east. The Hakka, having taken a short cut, got here 1000 years before the English who had to sail all the way around the world, not just island hop across an unpopulated Pacific Ocean [apart from a few Melanesians sprinkled across the south west islands].

Hmmm, I must ask my cousin if he has finished his study of Polynesian migrations. ... a few seconds later ... cyberspace is amazing and Google is great [Bing is also great and has a great photo each day as a bonus].... here's an article I just found so he has obviously finished some of it at least: transitofvenus.co.nz

I'm not quite sure what all these migrations and miscegenations mean in terms of who owns what and who should go back where they came from, but it's quite entangled now.

** Ancestral women left Africa about 90,000 years ago so English women took longer than English men to get to NZ but both arrived [en masse] on the same ships.
