I believe context is very important here, to my understanding, these kids where on a school feld trip when the elder walked up to them, with his own group of people in my view for intimidation, the elder proceeded to walk up to the kids playing his drum and chanting, he walked up directly to one of the boys playing his drum as loud as he could, not only that but if you watch the video the elders mallet comes within inches of the boys face, if this isn't aggressive behavior I don't know what is, also according to my sources the kids where not mocking them, they where singing there own song I believe it was for there school, not too sure on the fine details. Not only that but the native people also had more than a few threats toward the kids, I'm not supprised that some of the kids didn't know what was going on, this did happen very quickly and without much dialog, I actually must give props to the kid that stood his ground to the elder since it was an intimidating situation
