Meʻetuʻupaki
The meetuupaki (mee tuu paki: dance standing [with] paddles) is an ancient Tongan group dance, already reported by early European navigators like captain Cook. This dance has been traditionally designed for men although women may take part if there are not enough men. The (mee tuu paki resembles a kind of war dance; albeit, it is done with little symbolic paddles as opposed to arms.
