A member of the indigenous people of the Cook Islands. Usage notes The plural en Maori is now typically preferred, as the term is invariant in Māori. The form en Māori (with a macron) is preferred by some New Zealanders as a more accurate reflection of the Māori self-designation (even when an Anglicised pronunciation is used). A double vowel is occasionally used instead of a macron; this was formerly more common, but has fallen out of use since the Māori Language Commission's decision to adopt the macron as the standard representation of Māori long vowels.
