They came to this land of plenty:
Pacific Island Migration
Since the 1960s many people from the Pacific Islands have migrated to New Zealand and have mainly settled in Auckland and Wellington. Auckland is now the largest Pacific Island city in the world. The New Zealand Government has agreements with some Pacific Island nations (Samoa, Tonga and Fiji) which allow them to come to New Zealand to work. Some Pacific Island nations get free entry to New Zealand (Tokelau, Niue and Cook Islands) as New Zealand has control over these countries. Many Pacific Islanders come to New Zealand because they have family who already live here. Others come because there are more jobs, better health and education facilities.

Were there any barriers stopping them from fitting in?
