COOK ISLAND LANGUAGE WEEK

Last week we celebrated the Cook Island language and culture. We learned how to greet each other in Cook Island Maori, which is very similar to our New Zealand Maori. Did you know that different parts of the Cook Islands speak different dialects of the language?
We were very privileged to have Rua and Pauline visit us on Thursday afternoon to tell us about their beautiful country, show us some dance moves and share some of the famous Cook Island mainus (potato salad) and chop suey with us.
