  • Last month the island of Aitutaki held a special commemoration celebration: the 200th anniversary of the arrival of Christianity to the Cook Islands.
    Despite Covid causing havoc with the travel plans of many expected overseas guests, especially from Aotearoa, the event continued as planned. John Utanga reports.

    We at Papua are celebrating our 200 Years this year in November since your Cook Islands Missionaries brought the Good News to our land.
    God is Good, we are hoping you Cook Islands Ekalesia can come to join us in our celebrations.

      We have legends, our gods, our stories of nautical navigation. We are the first pioneers of sea farers, the true discovers, long before the many clothed man.

      True story. My grandparents left the cook islands and moved to nz for a "better life" . . . How the f is it a better life, paying mortgages and slaving away when back in the islands we had our own houses and land etc. I'm so passed off at that
