WHAT THEY BROUGHT.
The Dutch came to be seen as sensible and hard-working nation builders. Some of the first wave attracted criticism for working too hard, and were told to slow down in the workplace. Later ‘industrious Dutchie’ became a national archetype, and qualities like thrift and abruptness were seen as typical of the new arrivals.
The dutch have helped change the way of life in nz by introducing new costumes and foods, ideas and practices. Migrants like Suzy van der Kwast was the first to set up popular cafés where New Zealanders could taste good coffee and exotic food. In the mid-1950s, Auckland restaurateur Otto Groen challenged the conservative drinking laws of the day, which prevented the European custom of drinking wine with meals in restaurants.
Dutch immigrants have brought fresh and challenging ideas. Indonesian-born artist Theo Schoon occupies a significant place in New Zealand art for helping stimulate interest in jade carving, Māori rock drawings.
Dutch male immigrants have gained acceptance through sport, especially soccer
Friesian cows were an early Dutch contribution to the landscape, and migrants brought special expertise as dairy farmers. Growing tulips is another Dutch migrant speciality.
