Maori people primarily live in New Zealand, especially in the North Island where most of the Maori population resides. There are also Maori communities in other parts of the world, such as Australia and the United States.
Early European settlers unintentionally brought diseases such as measles, influenza, and tuberculosis to New Zealand, which had a devastating impact on the Maori population as they had no immunity to these illnesses. This led to widespread outbreaks and a significant decline in the Maori population during the 19th century.
Europeans outnumbered Maori in New Zealand in the late 19th century, around the 1860s to 1870s. This was primarily due to immigration from European countries and the impact of diseases introduced by Europeans on the Maori population.
The term "Pakeha" is used in New Zealand to refer to people of European descent. It is commonly used in the Maori language to distinguish those of European origins from the Maori indigenous population.
