The word 'māori' (the macron over the 'a' denoting a long vowel sound or else spelt 'maaori' to again ensure correct pronounciation) simply means:
1. (stative) be native, indigenous, normal, usual, natural, common, fresh (of water), belonging to Aotearoa/New Zealand, freely, without restraint, without ceremony, clear, intelligible.
2. (noun) aboriginal inhabitant.
When asked - "Ko wai koe? Who are you? He aha kē koe? What race are you?" - the answer came back as - "He Māori ahau! I am indigenous! " - alluding to the fact that the person who posed the question did not look like anyone they had seen before!
