What:
Being Pākehā can be an ethnic and cultural identity, as well as an
understanding in a Treaty context. As a word with a history, Pākehā was
used in the Declaration of Independence 1835 and te Tiriti o Waitangi in
1840, and as a word, could be said to have gone into disrepute as a result
of the process of colonisation, and breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi.

Adopting the name Pākehā can be a signal of belonging here and not
somewhere else, and also as being a commitment. Rather than framed in the
negative as non-Māori, Pākehā is framed in the positive.
If we wish to build cultural competence, including to be able to have
robust conversations about New Zealand’s future, it is useful to understand
where we are.
