What Wikipedia says

Iwi (Māori pronunciation: [ˈiwi]) are the largest social units in New Zealand Māori society. Iwi roughly means 'people' or 'nation' in the Māori language, and is often translated as "tribe". The word is both singular and plural in Māori, and is typically pluralised as such in English.
