Introduction Entertainment Cultural Events Shopping ... Weather in Niue The tropical island of Niue is situated 19˚south of the Equator. It’s 2,200 km's northeast of New Zealand, 386 km's east of Tonga and 900 km's west of Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. This position puts it eleven hours behind Greenwich Mean Time and twenty-three hours behind New Zealand standard time. It is one of the worlds largest emerged coral atolls, a saucer shaped island made from the basement of an isolated volcanic cone, 64 km's in circumference with an area of 260 sq. km's. It rises no more than 69 m above sea level, and was exposed as a result of dropping sea levels in the last million years. It is protected from the direct effects of the sea by a terraced limestone reef with living coral just beneath sea level. Most of the coast rises 20 - 30 m straight out of the sea, so it boasts initimate coves rather than the beach coastline typical of islands. Size Niue is much larger than the entire Cook’s group of fifteen islands put together, yet we only have less than one tenth of their population. There really are no crowds at all. We are small, but not tiny, since at 269 sq. kms of land area, Niue is over four times the size of Rarotonga – which covers 67.2 sq. km. Our entire population of about 1500 people live in only 14 widely dispersed villages. The rest of the island comprises virgin rainforest and farmland. We don’t recommend it, but there's a lot of space to get really lost, if you want to.

Introduction Entertainment Cultural Events Shopping ... Weather in Niue Shopping Niue is not a 24-hour, 7-day culture. Getting your shopping done requires a bit of careful timing and planning to avoid the inconvenience of running out. The islands major supermarket keeps limited hours due to the religious beliefs of its owners, so runs from Monday to Friday 9AM to 4PM. Outside these hours some smaller shops are open, but carry less range. These stores are often located in houses within villages – if in doubt just ask around! Traditional Art Niuean weaving is considered amongst the finest in the Pacific and the local women are very proud of their skills; hats, mats, bags and baskets are made from locally grown pandanus in totally traditional, fully manual methods. None of the artworks you will find for sale are made in a factory in China, or anywhere but Niue! Each village show-day showcases these and other handcrafts, and there are a few shops in Alofi that sell these crafts to visitors. These are not mass-produced and are increasingly rare works of art! Alternatively, if you’re after something special, you can also ask around within local villages – Niue is that kind of place! Home About Niue Getting to Niue Latest News ...

You are here: Te Ara Home New Zealanders New Zealand Peoples Niueans Community and culture Congregation of St James’s Presbyterian Church, Wellington Niuean language nest, Māngere Retaining the language Mt Albert Grammar School Niuean group ... ‘Take these with you when you leave’ Religion Niueans are in the main a religious people – a legacy of the London Missionary Society’s activities on the atoll from 1846. Niue’s main church, the Ekalesia Niue (Christian Church of Niue), was founded by the society, which established a New Zealand branch in 1994. In 2001, 76% of New Zealand Niueans (most of them older or Niuean-born) were actively involved with church groups. Especially popular were Presbyterianism (49%) and Catholicism (13%). A few followed the Mormon (11%), Anglican (5%) and Methodist (4%) faiths. Language Between 1846 and 1890 missionaries on Niue formalised the alphabet, translating the Bible ( Ko e Tohi Tapu ) and a hymn book ( Ko e Tau Lologo Tapu ). Efforts to preserve the language continued in New Zealand in the 20th century with the publication of a dictionary and revised hymnbook. In their own tongue Unlike many Pacific peoples, Niueans did not initially give Niuean names to new objects based on the sound of English words. Instead, they invented names in terms that were meaningful to them. Examples include vakalele (flying canoe) for aeroplane, vaka-tavilivili (whirling canoe) for helicopter, mama pala (damp lungs) for tuberculosis, and mata-afi (fire fragment) for matches.

There are about 1500 people in 14 villages on the island and village life remains the focus for Niue's cultural and political organisation. Niue has been self-governed in free association with New Zealand since 1974 and all Niueans are New Zealand citizens. While Niue's economy is dependent on substantial development assistance from New Zealand, the Niue government is committed to increasing the country's economic self-reliance. Tourism offers the most significant prospect for economic development, but its advancement depends on improved air services. Niue suffers from a declining population through migration and limited physical resources. While absolute poverty is non-existent, the country remains vulnerable to poverty and there is also poverty of opportunity. NZAID priorities Governance The Halavaka ke he Monuina Arrangement (HkhMA) for a Programme of Strengthened Cooperation ( SCP ) with Niue was signed by the New Zealand Prime Minister and the Niue Premier on 30 October 2004. The arrangenement facilitates closer cooperation between New Zealand and Niue government agencies, representing a major shift in New Zealand's approach to managing its relationship with Niue.
