Auckland is very cosmopolitian. She has the biggest Polynesian population in the world. here a Polynesian group in the Parade.

In New Zealand, families of all generations go to the parade. Most have had garnd parents who fought in the war. I have a friend J.A. who was there. She's in her 80s, and every year, she marches in the parade. I wish I could post a photo of her here, but I didn't ask her permission.
