The Istari were quite definitely Maiar - there are various references (for example "Unfinished Tales" p 394). Even in the Simarillion we are told that Olorin (=Gandalf) was a Maia of Lorien. Still, I must admit that I can't recall any specific mention of Curumo (Saruman) being a Maia of Aule. Can anybody else?
