Pākehā (or Pakeha; /ˈpɑːkɛhɑː, -kiːhɑː, -kiːə/;[1] Māori pronunciation: [ˈpaːkɛhaː]) is a Māori-language word used in English, particularly in New Zealand. It generally means a non-Polynesian New Zealander or more specifically a European New Zealander.[2][3] It is not a legal term and has no definition under New Zealand law. Papa'a has a similar meaning in Cook Islands Māori.[4]
Not to be confused with Pakeha (spider).
