How many New Zealanders have maori heritage?

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.

Maori is the Maori religion, which is based on traditional Maori mythology and beliefs. Some Maori follow all sorts of Pakeha religions including many types of Christianity, from Mormonism to Rastafarianism.In the early days of European settlement, Maori tried to get along with the Pakeha by accepting their religion, so some churches developed that are a Maori version of other Pakeha religions. One example is the Ratana church.
