With regard to the trend between 2001 and 2013, "Over the period, the number of Maori who have a Maori partner dropped from 53 to 48 per cent for Maori men, and from 52 to 47 per cent for Maori women."
When I reflect on friends and acquaintances over my lifetime these graphs are highly representative.

Lindsay, to comment on the above from a purely personal perspective, my wife and partner of 18yrs, see's herself as a 100%Wahine.
Asking her why she chose this aging Pakeha of Nordic origins, over a Tane from her own culture, she replied, "I had no interest in pursuing a relationship with a man, who may or may not, be my cousin."
