Kia ora Ms Simons,

Thank you for your request for a legal definition of the term Pakeha, safely received on 1 June 2021. I am sorry that the Ministry of Justice is late in providing a response to you.

The term Pakeha is not a legal concept. The Ministry is unable to provide you with a legal definition as you request.

If you are dissatisfied with my response, you may complain to the Office of the Ombudsman https://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/get-...

I apologise for the delay in responding to your request.

Thank you for contacting the Ministry of Justice.

Ngā mihi,
Jan
