Story: Samoans

Samoan girls perform at Polyfest

Despite the development of a PI (Pacific Island) identity, many young Samoans are also interested in the culture of their own people, especially its dance and music. Every year about 50 schools compete in Polyfest in Manukau. Here the Samoan group from Auckland Girls’ Grammar School performs ‘Entrance’ at Polyfest in 2003.
