    Mind Map of What do you think of when you hear ‘New Zealand identity’ or ‘Kiwiana’(include symbols, words and pictures in the box below. You could also include titles of songs, poems or other literature). There are around 34 symbols, let's see how many you can identify in your mind map.

    Deciding what makes Kiwiana depends a lot on who you are, your background culture and other influences that you have grown up with. For something to get the name Kiwiana it may have to meet the following requirement.

    • Be recognised as familiar to many people across New Zealand
    • Have stood the test of time (popular over time also)
    • Hold a special memory or positive appeal
