Yes, but its also who you define yourself as. As an individual I have nothing to do with this Polynesian heritage except for the fact that I live in a country that happens to be part of the triangle.

Again you're saying that if you don't identify with your countries historic heritage then it isn't your heritage. I disagree and think that when you are a NZ citizen, the history of NZ becomes your history (again regardless if whether or not that history has meaning for you).
How you do (or don't) define yourself in relation to your countries heritage (or any heritage for that matter) is
culture.
