#Te Epetoma O Te Reo Māori Kuki Airani! Day 2

Kia Orana, Pe'ea ua koe? (that means how are you?) so this week is Cook Island language week and this is my second post about the special event. Yesterday I  introduced myself being Cook Island and had shared a video with you too! Today I am going to be sharing another video that I found on YouTube that made me laugh so hard that i wanted to show you guys.

I really enjoyed it because it made me laugh and it reminded me of the Cook Islands when I last went there. I hope you enjoy the video and comment below if you want to add anything or you have any questions. 

Meitaki Maata, HannahT.

English Translation

Hello. My name is Hannah Tiniteila Tetini-Luatutu. Haumata Timoteo Hewett is the name of my grandmother from Rakahanga. Cramand Teaukura Hewett is the name of my grandfather from Aitutaki. I am 13 years old. I have 2 sisters and 1 brother. I go to Point England School.  I'm Cook Island Nuiean, Samoan and Tongan.  My teachers name is Andrea Tele'a. I am a year 8.

Kia Orana, so this week is a very very special week for us Cook Islanders because it is Cook Island language week, this year also marks the 50th year anniversary of the Cook Islands self governance. I will be posting a blog for the next few days about Cook Island Language Week. The Theme for this year is, "To tatou reo tupuna e korona ia no to tatou matakeinanga" which means "Our language is a crowning glory of our community". My mum and I were looking through some Cook Island websites, and spotted this video out. I thought I'd share it with you folks to watch and see what the Cook Islands looks and feels like.
