Kia Orana! Celebrating Cook Islands Language Week

August 1st - August 5th 2022

Acknowledging that while community elders are fundamental to the teaching and sharing of Cook Islands language, the leadership of young people as the next wave of cultural and language experts is also critical in keeping the connection to their homelands alive."
