Preserving Our Culture, Securing Our Future
A landmark symposium event dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the Cook Islands
Why This Matters Now
Our language and cultural teachings are living treasures, fragile and at risk of fading. Each generation that passes without active preservation threatens to silence centuries of wisdom, stories, and identity.
Less than (number)% of young Cook Islanders are fluent in te reo Māori
Traditional knowledge is rapidly disappearing
Cultural identity at a critical crossroads
