Non-Maori. The Maori term 'Pakeha' was originally used to mean European or a New Zealander of European descent. It is used to describe anyone or anything that is not Maori.
Contrary to popular (media) belief the world "Pakeha" means fear skinned. The world Pakeha is a derivative of the maori word Pakehakeha. In maori myth in legend we had the equivalent of the fey/fairy folk whom where either called Patupairehe or Pakehakeha, they were said to be fair of skin with red or light hair. this is what eventually our European settlers were coined with! Pakeha short for Pakehakeha.
