Aside from the obvious ethnic difference, many Maori speak with an accent (somewhat different to the Kiwi accent). There way of life can be quite different, too, although there has been a lot of crossover between Maori and Pakeha. In fact, it has been suggested that the Maori accent influenced the NZ accent, which 50 years ago, was barely different to an Australian accent.
