When migrants from the British Isles came to New Zealand, they brought not only sheep, dogs, and gorse with them, but also many vernacular cultural traditions. This article proposes a research programme in folklore studies and cultural anthropology to investigate those parts of Pakeha (non-Maori) cultural continuity that can be traced to a set of largely working class and rural rituals and practices from Britain. These rituals and practices have been adapted in New Zealand and continue to thrive. Work on such a research programme has barely begun, in part because New Zealand intellectuals and state agencies neglect the myths and realities of origin in their search for a national identity
