.Kiwiana Culture of Kiwi New Zealand
Kiwiana is made up of the objects, symbols, language, and cultural views that make up the special identity that New Zealanders have. Different groups of New Zealanders will identify more strongly with various kiwiana. The interesting thoughts are what are the ones held most strongly by more people and people groups.

It will be interesting to explore ideas of how new immigrants to NewZealand view Kiwiana, and what are the 'ana" that could be identified in the country they come from.
