About

The people of Atiu have recorded the richness of their traditions, history and culture, which for centuries was handed down by word of mouth. This book chronicles a proud Polynesian people's narrative of themselves and affords the outsider invaluable insights into Cook Islands culture, not only as it was but also as it is today. The broad span of life is traversed from such mundane matters as clothing to the deeply mystical chants, karakia, that foretell the future. Ancient traditions still maintained, little changed.

Illustrated with monochrome images and a map.
