IT’S SMALLER THAN… If you’re trying to locate the Cook Islands right now on a world map and having some difficulties, you’re not alone. The 15 islands that make up the Cook Islands have a combined land mass of 240 km² – which is smaller than Lower Hutt which is 377 km² ! But. . .Those 15 tiny islands are spread over 1.8 million km² of the South Pacific Ocean
CAPTAIN COOK ACTUALLY NEVER VISITED THE COOK ISLANDS The Cook Islands got their name from the infamous British explorer Captain James Cook, who travelled through the South Pacific and was the first to map it out. However, he never actually sighted Rarotonga and only set foot on Palmerston Atoll, one of the smallest islands. During his voyage between 1773 and 1777 Captain Cook actually named them Hervey Islands. They were renamed by “groupies” to honour the explorer years later .
COOK ISLANDERS DISCOVERED NEW ZEALAND Maori are original settlers of New Zealand, but did you know that Maoris originate from the Cook Islands? In fact, a wave of large canoes left the island of Rarotonga and sailed into the unknown. These brave explorers had no GPS to guide them, only wave and cloud patterns during the day and millions of stars at night. They definitely had no answer for the children on board asking “are we there yet?” These Maori explorers eventually made it to Aotearoa – the land of the long white cloud – present day New Zealand
MORE COOK ISLANDERS LIVE IN NEW ZEALAND THAN IN THE COOK ISLANDS Perhaps it’s the ability to consecutively drive for more than one hour that draws Cook Islanders to live in New Zealand, but the real reason as to why more Cook Islanders live in New Zealand than in the Cook Islands themselves is likely related to simple economics. Unless you’re making serious money off tourism or have an exceptional talent for exporting black pearls, there aren’t a whole lot of career opportunities on the islands. In a 2006 New Zealand census, nearly 60,000 respondents identified themselves as being of ethnic Cook Islands Māori descent (compare that with the island-nation’s total population of 18,000). If you’re a teenager living in the Cook Islands, it is very likely that you’ll be encouraged to pack up at some point, emigrate to New Zealand, and send some money back home whenever you can.
