PiPhiRho is correct. After contemplating whether or not I was thrashing this word by my 'Americanized' pronunciation, I decided to check on exact pronunciation. I found the answer, and can only show you if you have America On-Line:

Sign on to your AOL screenname,
Go up to the top and Click the "EDIT" file,
and scroll down to "Dictionary".
Enter "Maori", then click "Look Up".
It will give you the definition...
ACROSS from "Definition", click on "Pronunciation Key".
It will then play the mp3 file for correct pronunciation, so make sure your volume is up.

I tried copying the file, but when I tried the playback, the word kept cutting out. It's probably an AOL thing.

Anyway if you're on AOL try it.
