- Description
The culture of New Zealand is unique. It includes bits of history from various sections of society that go to make up New Zealand. You can see it in items like food, clothing, toys, icons, traditions and dances that are special to New Zealand. These items are called Kiwiana because they are examples of what New Zealanders (Kiwis) enjoy and are proud of. Kiwiana is an important part of New Zealand's identity.
