Heyyy...

I think you may have the interpretation of the word "kiwi" wrong.

There are two people of New Zealand, they are the Maori people and the European people(Pakeha) both of whom are Kiwis.
Kiwi refers to the Nationality of both Maori and Pakeha people, not to a certain group of people.

In reference to how they get along, there have been some problems over the years but overall, the situation is healthy between the two people who are one nation.

Certain disputes by Maori people over land rights and soverignty have tended to build up a bit of a problem but mose New Zealanders are tolerant of such acts.

Hope this is of some help.
