Here is an excellent map. As you see, Hawaii, is classified under Polynesia according to the graph. Notice Melanesia consist of , Papua New Giunea. NEW ZEALAND is classified as a Polynesian Island. Believe it or not. It does kind of jet out far into the Pacific Ocean. Oceana is just a term to include Pacific Islands. I see Northern Marianas are included as Micronesian islands. Maybe so, however, it is more politically divided and more commonly known as CNMI as to Micronesia in Guam.
