Clarke, has gone viral once again after tearing up a controversial bill and performing the traditional Maori haka during a parliamentary session. But who is this young leader, and what led her to rip up the legislation?

New Zealand 's Parliament was recently brought to a standstill when 22-year-old MP Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke performed a traditional Maori haka and tore up a copy of the Treaty Principles Bill.

The haka, often associated with New Zealand’s All Blacks rugby team, is much more than a pre-game ritual; it is a cornerstone of Maori culture, embodying history, identity, and emotion.
