How do you say tribe in maori?

"Tribe" in Māori can be translated in a few ways, depending on the context:

Iwi: This is the most common and general term for a tribe, referring to a group of people with a shared ancestry, history, language, and territory.

Hapū: This is a sub-tribe, a smaller group within an iwi.

Whānau: This refers to a family group, but can also be used more broadly to refer to a close-knit community, sometimes with a shared genealogy.

The best translation for "tribe" depends on the specific situation. If you're talking about a large, recognized tribal group, iwi is the most accurate.
