Pacific song and dance
A DigitalNZ Story by National Library of New Zealand Topics
Singing and dancing has always been an integral part of Pacific cultures, it is a form of oratory history that has allowed Pacific cultures to survive throughout the years. The shifting of environments and contexts has caused these practices to change over time into what they are today. SCIS no. 5423738
