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!
