Te Reo is the language (or Te Reo Maori)
Maori is the people

The answer to this question would have easily found by the OP doing a google or wiki search

That's where I got my information from. Well, every single NZ website I visited listed available languages as English and Maori

I'm surprised NZRugby hasn't chimed in.. he would have corrected you, as he has others in the past, that its Te Reo, not Maori.

How much time have you spent in Aotearoa?

I'm surprised at the answer. It's very rare to hear it spoken. Much more common to hear a Chinese language or Hindi.

It is quite rare to hear it spoken in most locations. However if you go to areas with a high % of maoris, its not.
Eg. Ruatoria, Rotorua etc. It is a dying language.
