Their name for New Zealand is Aotearoa (5)

I believe the answer is:

maori

(Other definitions for maori that I've seen before include "Original New Zealanders" , "Native New Zealander of Polynesian origin" , "race" , "Aboriginal New Zealander" , "Pa may accommodate one" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
