However, there are some common threads. All the islands employed a chiefly system based on traditional legends of migration and settlement. These stories enshrined the power of the chiefs as inheritors of what might be termed an "heroic" culture. From time to time theories have been advanced that Polynesian culture before European contact was similar to that of the heroic period of Greece, that is, pre-dating Homer around 1200 BC. Some of these parallels include the concept of ' mana ', kinship, feasting and the giving of food, attitudes towards women and the lack of individualism. The Polynesian hero, or free man, acquired

Cook Islands News Visit Our TOP PICK of Amazon's South Pacific Products TRAVEL HELP DESK Travel Insurance Postcards Message Board Art Gallery In true Polynesian style, Cook Islanders live in small, close knit communities and are extraordinarily proud of their heritage. The extended family and community take precedence over the individual, making for a generous, open people. Family lineage is very important to Cook Islanders, most of whom can proudly trace their ancestors back for many generations to the original tribes of the islands. These tribes own all the land and assign it to families. Interestingly, while the chiefly title and positions of authority are passed through male lineage, land rights are passed through the maternal lineage. Of the traditions that have survived the strict moral teachings of the missionaries, the most obvious - and most compelling - is the vibrant, exotic and erotic dances that are accompanied by a compelling beat on the traditional slit drum. Each island has its own special songs and dances, which tell stories from the past, and children learn and practice these from a very young age and perform regularly.

Contact FIND OUT MORE About the Cook Islands Ministry of Cultural Development In 1975 a Culture Division was created under the umbrella of the Department of Internal Affairs. This initiative embraced various Cook Islands cultural activities including a refinement of material and performing arts programmes. Three years later the Culture Division was closed down and merged with the Tumu Korero Division. The year 1979 saw the cessation of the Tumu Korero Division. In recognition of the need to have firmly established organisations which focused on the Cook Islands culture, a ministry was set up under the Ministry of Cultural Development Act 1990. The Maori name for the ministry was also accepted as Tauranga Vananga which reflected the focus of the ministry on traditional knowledge and the preservation, perpetuation and enhancement of the Cook Islands Cultural Heritage.

The Cook Islands encompass an inviting combination of stunning beauty and Polynesian culture. Welcome to this group of 15 islands scattered over more than a million square miles of crystal blue water, where shimmering white beaches contrast with verdant hills, perfect for hiking. Located south of Hawaii, west of Tahiti, and east of Samoa and Tonga, the Cook Islands showcase Polynesian culture, friendly people and stunning beauty, making them a perfect choice for a memorable vacation. The central island of Rarotonga offers a wide variety of excellent accommodations, from resorts to hotels to self-catering. The largest of the island at 20 miles around, Rarotonga is still small enough to explore by horse, bike, scooter, rental car or the island bus. Snorkeling, diving, golf, tennis, cultural and arts and crafts exhibits, sailing and game fishing are all available for your pleasure. The restaurants are plentiful and the food excellent. While Maori is the principal language, everyone speaks English. The Cook Islands are ideal for a tranquil vacation, or as a stop on a more extensive itinerary.
