Cook Islands Wishing You a Long Life
Cook Islands Family Life
Like most of life on the islands, dress is casual and modest, but vibrant. Most professionals wear western-style clothing. Both men and women wear wrap-around pieces of material called "pareu" around the home, and women sometimes tie them nicely to wear out on a special occasion. The freedom of such clothing is always a source of enjoyment for volunteer teams!
The Cook Islanders are a self-governing people with a special partnership with New Zealand, which grants them dual citizenship. Consequently, many Cook Islanders have immigrated to New Zealand as well as Australia (as New Zealand citizens can live in Australia), either to seek jobs or to be with other family members. The current government is seeking to minimize this "brain drain" by improving educational, cultural, medical, and environmental services on the archipelago. As a volunteer, you can help in this effort.
Passionate and Colorful
The legendary generosity and charm of the Polynesian people quickly becomes obvious when you arrive in the Cook Islands. A warm welcome and sincere generosity is extended to visitors, instantly creating an a feeling of total acceptance and tranquility. Cook Islanders share a genuine regard for others, and enjoy sharing their traditions which live on in vibrant song, passionate dance, colorful folktales and exquisite artwork. While the high quality arts and crafts of the Cook Islands today are but a shadow of their former importance, they were once widespread. However, Cook Islanders still produce unique, massive wooden carvings, finely woven hats and "black pearl" jewelry sought by tourists.

      European Colonization
      Williams stopped at Aitutaki in 1821 and dropped off two Tahitian teachers. Returning two years later, he found that one, Papeiha, had done particularly well. Williams took him to Rarotonga and left him there for four years. When he returned in 1827, Williams was welcomed by Papeiha's many converts. The missionaries taught an austere, puritanical morality and believed the white man's diseases such as dysentery, measles, smallpox, and influenza, which killed two-thirds of the population, were the punishment of God descending on the sinful islanders. The missionaries became a law unto themselves; today, the ubiquitous churches full to overflowing on Sunday are their legacy. (The missionaries arrived from Australia, and since they weren't aware of the idea of an international date line, they held Sunday service on the wrong day for the first 60 years of their presence!) About 63 percent of the population now belongs to the Cook Islands Christian Church (CICC), founded by the London Missionary Society. Takamoa College, the Bible school they established at Avarua in 1837, still exists. Reports that the French were about to annex the Cooks led the British to declare a protectorate over the southern group in 1888. The French warship approaching Manihiki to claim the islands turned back when it saw a hastily sewn Union Jack flying, and in 1889 the northern atolls were added to the protectorate at the behest of the missionaries. The local chiefs petitioned the British to have their islands annexed to the British Crown. Thus on June 11, 1901, both the northern and southern groups were included in the boundaries of New Zealand. During World War II, the United States built air bases on Aitutaki and Penrhyn.

They are surrounded by rich fishing grounds and potentially by gas and oil deposits. They are claimed in their entirety by China, Taiwan, and Vietnam, while portions are claimed by Malaysia and the Philippines. About 45 islands are occupied by relatively small numbers of military forces from China, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Brunei has established a fishing zone that overlaps a southern reef, but has not made any formal claim.

Avarua is the capital of the Cook Islands.  English and Cook Islands Maori are official languages of the jurisdiction. Tourists are attracted to the Cook Islands by its beautiful nature, thus making tourism contribute the major part of annual income to the state economy. Other important but less developed economic activities include financial services, pearls and marine market segments.
    New Zealand is responsible for defense of the Cook Islands, but in the recent times the islands have adopted a more independent approach to a foreign policy than before. The Cook Islands are not a full member of the UNO. The immigration of skilled workforce to New Zealand represents a problem to the overall development of the Cook Islands.
