Let me take a wild (OK, not so wild, since I know the answer) guess and say it involves the All Blacks in the Rugby Union. I might not have known, except that on a recent episode of the Antique Show on PBS, a guy in England had an All Blacks jersey and a cap, signed by the team, from the 1905 All Blacks team that conquered European rubgy.

What special dance they do before proceedings begin in said religion?
Do you mean the Haka?

Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!
Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!
Tenei te tangata puhuru huru
Nana nei i tiki mai
Whakawhiti te ra
A upa ... ne! ka upa ... ne!
A upane kaupane whiti te ra!

You might have noticed earlier in this thread that I mentioned Once Were Warriors being one of my top 20 all-time favorite movies. It wasn't a great deal of trouble to find the answers to your questions.
