Also! Quick reminder! Its Māori not Maori. You can also write it as Maaori if you do not have letter variants available. The tohutō (the line over the a) is important! Its important to respect indigenous writings and languages in the seemingly small things as well as the big things! You can even go into your phone or tablet and create a shortcut, so your spelling is always corrected from Maori to Māori. This can help you become more aware and conscious of how you write.
You may see the spelling Maori in articles, even government ones. That doesn’t make it correct. Many indigenous spellings are not considered when crafting articles or grammatical formatting. Its a result of colonialism, so please break the cycle and remember to respect Native languages!
