August the 4th is KIA ORANA day. This is the day that the culture minister declared for singing and dancing in celebration of the Cook Islands. Previuosly people would sing and dance to celebrate political perties or village and tribal events. On this day the culture minister declared that people should come together and celebrate being a Cook Islander. At our school there are many Cook Islanders and infact I have been linked with the Cook Island whanau. Here are a selection of the pictures of the day's celebration.
