This gives off serious Klingon vibes.
What's going on?
This is a Maori war dance called a Haka. Traditianally meant to intimidate your enemies and psych yourself up before a big battle. Here are some real Maori warriors performing a large Haka. https://youtu.be/xI6TRTBZUMM
That's badass
Imagine seeing an army doing this in full face paint 300 years ago. Terrifying. I'd give up, they win.
Why 300 years ago? Now, I'd still give up. That made my hair stand up.
Yeah but this way is way scarier, cause even if you survive the army, you now also have to invent a time machine if you ever want to get back home.
Well tattoos, but yeah. They also do it before every union game and it makes me want to pick up the ball again and play them. Not going to happen, but the Aussie side is pretty shite at the moment, so there's a chance
I know about maori people but what is the context for this clip?
She's newly elected. This was a part of her first speech and it has gone viral. She's Maori and I suppose this is her saying she's there to fight, but I didn't see the rest of the speech.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

As you can see they are giving opening greetings for this session.
Iambic (some-number)-ter FTW
That's actually cool!
Which demon did I just summon to this earthly plane by watching this? Ah well, it'll have to fight the ones already here for dominance, so I'm sure it will be fine. :-P
