Oratia

Kia ora ana!

Did you know that the most prevalent art form in the Cook Islands is dance?

In Cook Islands – Kūki ‘Airani, Jean Tekura Mason guides readers around her home islands. What do Cook Islanders eat? How are the schools there? What’s the weather like?

Learn about the seven pillars of culture that guide Cook Islands life, the style of family homes, how the government works and how Cook Islanders live in New Zealand – along with some simple Cook Islands greetings.

Written in English and Maori Kūki ‘Airani, this richly illustrated book is part of the Moana Oceania series, which introduces the culture and landscapes of Aotearoa’s Pacific neighbours.
