The Pua Brothers: Central Auckland's Pasifika History

From The Weekend , 11:05 am on 7 January 2023

We all know Auckland is the largest Polynesian city in the world, but what isn't always so well known is the Pasifika history of central Auckland particularly the areas in and around Karangahape Road

The Pua Brothers, Mua and Sofi, grew up in Grey Lynn to parents who had come from Samoa in the 1950's, and for the last 16 years have been retelling the story of the Pacific Islanders who settled in Ponsonby, Grey Lynn and the surrounding areas.

They join Perlina to talk about their work bringing their history to life.
