The Polynesian Society was formed in New Zealand in 1892, co-founded by Stephenson Percy Smith and Edward Tregear. It counted Elsdon Best, W. H. Skinner, Sir Āpirana T. Ngata as some of its earlier presidents. One of the oldest learned societies in the Southern Hemisphere, its aim is to promote the scholarly study of past and present New Zealand Māori and other Pacific Island peoples and cultures.
