Pasifika New Zealanders (also called Pacific Peoples[2][3]) are a pan-ethnic group of New Zealanders associated with, and descended from, the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Islands (also known as Pacific Islanders) outside of New Zealand itself.[a][1] They form the fourth-largest ethnic grouping in the country, after European descendants, indigenous Māori, and Asian New Zealanders.[4] Over 380,000 people identify as being of Pacific origin, representing 8% of the country's population, with the majority residing in Auckland.[1]
