text: # Pākehā Māori
  
  Pākehā Māori were early European settlers (known as Pākehā in the Māori language) who lived among the Māori in New Zealand.
  
  ## History
  
  Many Pākehā Māori were runaway seamen or escaped Australian convicts who settled in Māori communities by choice.
  
  A few Pākehā Māori such as James Caddell, John Rutherford and Barnet Burns even received moko (facial tattoos).
  
  In 1862 and 1863, the early settler Frederick Edward Maning published two books under the pseudonym "A Pakeha Maori" in which he describes how they lived.
