A Kiwi is a bird that is native to New Zealand, a Pakeha (non-Maori) person that comes from New Zealand might call themselves a Kiwi. 'Kiwi' became a somewhat controversial term during the NZ 2005 general election when the right-wing National Party used the term in their campaign to denote someone who was a white, conservative, christian and therefore a 'real' New Zealander. The National party campaign was based on an anti-Maori stance and used the slogan "kiwi or Iwi" ( iwi being the Maori word for tribe). For Maori the term 'kiwi' is synonymous with 'non-Maori New Zealander' and may take offence at being called a kiwi. The National Party lost the election.
