Juniper, Sequoia, Diablo....Tamalpais?

So we have these new dorms at my school, they're really nice and this is the first year they've been open.  Each of them has some Native American/Californian name like Sierra or El Dorado.  Anyways, so two of the buildings are for freshmen, the third is for sophomores and the last of the 4 new buildings is for the International students.  and its called "Tamalpais"  named after a small mountain in Northern CA.  Can someone PLEASE explain to me how to pronounce this word?  More so can someone tell me WHY they would put all the Japanese kids in a building with the hardest word to pronounce?  Not to mention they're gonna struggle with that "l" in the middle.

"CAN YOU SAY 'TAMARPAIS"?
