@@aloha_oe311 i disagree..to be honest with you it would be like this if the government implemented Polynesian culture in school system. My parents struggles through so much just to put food on the table and learnd the American way,mind you, in the United States of America not everyone knows or heard of my culture i would say "40%" of the country knows or understand a little about where I'm from..juss so you know..but thanks NZ for appreciating my culture.

Bruv, would love to add a simple understanding from an American. I was taught about the natives struggles and was shown the culture regularly in school. I hike trails carved by the Powhatan on the Chesapeake, thinking what this ground was like before me. But I can’t celebrate their culture or express it because it is considered culture appreciation.

@@tagaloasroyallinesheartofp3478 .The Tu'i Pulotu is believed to be the head of an ancient group of people that settled in Pulotu (Fiji) during the Lapita period (2500 BC to 3500 BC.) The Island of Pulotu is an island located in Fiji, north-west of Tongatapu. It is referred to in Tongan oral traditions as "the motherland" or "place of origin". It is there that some believed that Tongan culture and its people developed and evolved out of the ancient Austronesian/Lapita culture (c. 1600 BCE - c. 500 BCE) that migrated from south east Asia through Taiwan, the Philippines, PNG, New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji about 8000 BC.

You will 100% not regret it if you do. Just watching this video brought me into tears knowing my time there has long been finished. But I'm proud of the boys that hold the school to high standards, whether it be in academia, the fine arts or even sports. Doesn't surprise me that Dilworth exceeds its potential and expections year after year. As an old boy, I can confidently say my mum made the best decision to send her 3 boys there, and trust me you won't either.
