The impact of Pasifika people in sport and rugby
Pasifika people can be seen making impacts in sports across the world and in Aotearoa New Zealand. However, limited research shows sport from an Indigenous cultural lens, which reveals a more holistic appreciation for their role in sport and societal development.
