used to define white people. It is referred to the people who
came from England and settled in the country. Later on, the term
is used to define fair-skinned person who was born in New
Zealand. It was later on that the term Pakeha was applied to all
fair-skinned people in the country. This will include anybody with
Anglo-celtic origin such as England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and
even Americans. Although somewhat related to the British

British culture includes higher form equality, the Pakeha culture
is a sub-culture that is derived from the Irish, Italian and other
European groups and non-ethnic subcultures.
