	Culture of New Zealand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The culture of New Zealand is a fusion of Māori culture and that of the descendants of the early British colonists and later settlers, many of whom were of working class origin.
		New Zealand has only recently experienced economic development outside farming, so traditionally, Kiwis are jacks-of-all-trades to some extent, willing to roll up their sleeves and have a go.
		Because New Zealanders often have to relocate to achieve worldwide fame and fortune, New Zealanders are keen to claim famous people as being New Zealanders, however short their residency in New Zealand might have been.
