Preferred term

Aotearoa  

Definition

  • Unlike nearby Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand is not a multicultural society, but rather, according to local terminology, a bicultural society. The two cultures referred to in this notion are those of the original indigenous people, the Maori, and an emerging indigenous people, the Pakeha.
