DESCRIPTION

This presentation is about Uia and the coming of the missionaries.

The story of Uia is not well publicised. Uia predicted the coming of the missionaries and that their idols would be thrown into the fire, and they would be exiled into the caves. Temeamea also highlighted that Uia was neither male or female. Temeamea and her son Akamouia sang the song about Uia.

Temeamea emphasised that the young people, must know about their Ui Tupuna and their stories.

The value of the Enuamanu language is in the traditional stories.
And should be told and spoken to your family every day.

PROJECT SUMMARY

E Reo Noku – My Language is a project aimed at capturing the unique stories, history, culture and languages of 10 islands within the Cook Islands. Many of these Islands have their own unique culture, and traditions that many Cook Islanders living abroad are unaware of. It is important to preserve these cultural traditions from the elders before this knowledge is lost. Presenters and representatives were filmed in Porirua, Wellington, New Zealand during May 2022, creating a resource for the Te Reo Tupuna language class to learn from, and to capture traditional knowledge for future generations.
