We have to put the word "a" in front of us and say we are a New Zealander.

Demonym = New Zealander, Kiwi (colloquial)

Proud to be a Kiwi & a Pakeha

What is a "Pakeha". Haven't heard that yet.

What is a "Pakeha". Haven't heard that yet.

Pakeha is "in common usage, but many have difficulty in defining its meaning. From early records it is clear that the term was used in New Zealand before 1815 to mean ‘white person’. Initially a Pakeha was that person who came from England, and settled or worked in New Zealand. With time, Pakeha was the fair-skinned person who was born in New Zealand. Later the term was even more general. It was applied to all fair-skinned people in New Zealand, no matter what their ancestry or place of birth"

Defining ‘Maori’ allows for a reference point when discussing Pakeha, its origins and meaning in today’s society. The Maori used the word to describe themselves, as opposed to the ‘different’, European settlers, during the nineteenth century, and the Europeans in turn adopted it. Before the time of the arrival of Europeans, Maori had no name for themselves as a nation, only a number of tribal names" ... ‘Maori’ as a derivative "from ‘tangata maori’ meaning ordinary people" referring to the "descendants of the country’s first Polynesian immigrants".

Huh we have three official languages, English, Maori, and New Zealand Sign language, I dont think it has to be legislated as an official language when the documents are published in it.

There's no such thing as "New Zealand Sign Language".

@ Woodman, you are NOT Scottish if you hail from Scotland. You are Scots. Call them Scottish ONLY if your mother can sew. Also - New Caledonia. (Wonders if anyone can see what he did there?)
