To me, Pākehā means a New Zealander with European ancestry but a family history in the country. For those who are visitors, or who live here but were born elsewhere and have their family elsewhere I'd use the term tauiwi. That's how I was taught anyway. It does take a great deal of time and reflection to weave together knowledge. You can't just arrive, capture it and take it away, it just doesn't work that way. The tourist experience of culture is just a glimpse.

This was a stunning documentary. Thank you for having spent the time to reflect and reorganise your lenses, It was a beautiful thing to see. Especially as a Māori woman who works in tourism, this film is a pretty accurate reflection of how it feels to essentially commercialise yourself. You start to question weather you’re educating or entertaining pakeha. I can see it on the faces of the performers because I’ve felt the same. It feels like someone tracking mud through your house and refusing to clean it up. Now it’s been dirty so long that nobody wants to take the responsibility to clean it up. So you end up cleaning it best you can but the stain remains visible if you look hard enough. I’d also like to add that it’s possible for Pakeha to become Māori. Many just don’t because their mindset stops them from seeing the value in having the Māori world view since it’s usually new or conflicting to their existing one. Imagine how boring would the world be if we all believed the same though.

About 80,000 killed by other tribes between 1830 and 1839. Down from about 170000. Cannibalism, infanticide, slavery was rife. Do you not know about the Treaty of Waitangi signed in 1840. These "poor Maori" ceded sovereignty to the Crown of Great Britain. The coming of the Pakeha, with British Common law saved this people. This film is Racist!!
