I think so but i think pirates stole the land.
No, the Maori electoral roll is for Maori only.
Pakeha. Anyone or anything that is not Maori is called Pakeha.
The British (or Pakeha) had been trading their musketts with the Maori, in return for food, flax, or land. This led to many Maori being killed a lot faster in their tribal wars. Also, many Pakeha had been buying land off of the Maori, with the Pakeha believing it was theirs to keep, but Maori thinking they had only lent it to them for a short period. As you can imagine, this led to many arguments and fights.
Do you mean 'Why did the maori not want to give there land to the pakeha?' If so it was because land is important to the Maori's and still is the Treaty of Waitangi was meant to settle land disagreements but all it did was cause controversy as the Treaty was mistranslated- Tymaga
Someone that does not have Maori bloodlines, that is foreign or fair-skinned. Anyone or anything that is non-Maori is 'Pakeha'
because they wouldn't fight over the land any more

The Maori word for European is Pākehā.
New Zealanders : Maori (the indigenous people) and Pakeha (non-Maori).
Full-blooded is a meaningless term in Maori society. There is only Maori or Pakeha (non-Maori). Maori is not just an ethnicity but a living culture. Terms such as 'full-blooded' are best suited to discussing animals not people; they are a dehumanising throwback to European colonialism.Note: The term 'Pakeha' is a New Zealand cultural term which simply means non-Maori. 'Pakeha' has no negative connotations whatsoever. Anyone claiming that 'Pakeha' is somehow derogatory is perpetuating an anti-Maori myth that has no basis in fact.
Pakeha means a European person, non Maori.
Pakeha, which means non-Maori. Pakeha New Zealanders are uniquely fortunate in that, unlike the non-native people of other European colonised countries, they are honoured by being called by a name given to them by the native people.
