Living in the Cooks

Our Kia Orana Values
The Cook Islands are guided by three core values; Kia Orana, Meitaki and Mana Tiaki.
-
Kia Orana is both a blessing and a wish for good fortune. It is the essence of our people and islands. The Kia Orana values embody this essence and reflect our aspirations for our islands.
-
Meitaki means here, everything is good and well. It means we are grateful and is also a way of saying thank you.
-
Mana Tiaki means we are proud guardians of these islands.
Our visitors will learn and come to appreciate our values and share these experiences with the world!
