Uncle Uiui, karoha! Misi roa toku tati iakoe ma Fana ai.

Such an isolated island. My dream to get there

Kia Orana, Love to hear stories about our beautiful island Mauke. I'm on the search for anyone that knows the Tau'u family. My father left Mauke for NZ in 1965. His Father Tetua n Uncle William Buck.

Kiaora Mauke. He pai ki te taringa te whakarongo ki te reo taketake o nga maatua nei. He pera i te waiata. (Beautiful to the ear to hear the elders speak in their first language. It's music to the ears). Noho ora mai Mauke te Kuki Aerani.

Kua piri ana au ki te ta'u anga umu ti i roto i toku oire i muri uake ite uriia atupaka 1967, ko te toka e use iana no te ta'u ite umu ti e toka rarai,pera katoa te vaie, mei te 2 ki te 3 ra e uke ei te umu, me vera tikai te umu e 2 ra. Yes ti is very sweet, I see some papas use ti to sweeten their coffee or tea,, I love it with coconut, thanks for sharing.

Me pehea hoki e kore ai E marama 😊❤️ NZ Karawhiua

Kia apiiia ta tatou au tamariki no runga i teia au marama, ( akairo uriia)

Meitaki atupaka ki teia au metua no te akamarama no runga i teia au akairo o te uriia.

I love the island of pukapuka because its beautiful, to be honest

My grandmother talk to me in Rarotongan Maori. E tuke teia nei reo. Kare au e marama

My home

Te ātaahua hoki o ngā kōrero nei mō ngā tohu o te taiao. E tino rite ana te reo nei ki te reo i konei, i te Tai Tokerau, Aotearoa.

I was outside at night time securing our home anchoring it down stronger .

Kite Ana rai au I te maviri o te Ua rakau. Kare I roa I muri mai uriia. E te kuru atu. Me e 3 me me kare ngao atu te kuru I runga e t'ai atava. Ka uriia. Kite au I teia au akairo I te 2005 I te Taemai anga Tera 5 uriia. Reka rai I te kakaro I teia manga teata o Mangaia. Teia taime ra oki. E ngata rai I te kite I teia au akairo aere I rarotonga nei..

Hello, is the language used in this video Penryhn? Or is it standard Maori?

I miss those cook island foods. Chestnut is one of my favourite snacks growing up on mangarongaro and breadfruit on open fire 😋 but my favourite of all would have to be those sour fruits 🍈 lama.I must go back home. There is nothing better then food from the land

Love my people and the knowledge they hold reach and grab it people hold on to it and pass it down this is how we keep these traditions and practises alive thanku Mama's and papas love u all

I miss these voices and missing back home

This is absolutely true, I've seen it with chickens and frigate birds during cyclone back home..

What a special Island.

This must've been a while ago cos some of those mama's and papa's in the clip have passed on. Sad but good for their families to see them in this clip.

Always been true

My first experience in cooking and eating the ti was in Niue. My Nana made a umu and cooked the ti but it was only over night 12hrs approx. It tasted like sweet liqueurs. To avoid the itchiness of the kape, it has to be peeled back to the white flesh before cooking. The outer flesh is cream in color so you peel it until the white flesh is showing. My next trip to the Cook Islands I'm going to cook kape for my inlaws. Awesome video learned a lot. Meitaki maata.

Pukapukan language sounds very similar to Tokelauan and Tuvaluan and abit of Samoan

Very educational. Great to know.

Like it

Our old people can predict the weather pattern better, than what they tell you on TV one, Two and Three. That's a fact. William Percival New Zealand Gardenia Band 🇨🇰 Kia Orana

My parents never told us why we were leaving mangarongaro, I thought it was because I said I wanted to go to Aitutaki but no i feel like it was because of the cyclone.

Thank you. I am from Whakatane in Aotearoa /New Zealand. My ancestors are Wairaka and her Father Toroa our chief of Mataatua waka, it is said they came from Ma'uke around 1350ad. I intend to come and spend time so I wanted to learn abit more. Thank you again.

As soon as the video starts that little Motu called Seniseni, my late Grandad planted most of those trees. Miss you Papa🖤

This is a treasure trove of precious knowledge! I wish I was taught these in school.

The knowledge provided by the elderly lady is very useful for the young generation. We in Samoa also had 'umu ti' in the past. Unfortunately, I only heard about it but have never seen how it was done. Lucky for this video that I now know how ti was prepared although the Samoan way may be a little bit different. Thanks for sharing and I wish the lady good health for more years to come!

Thank you for sharing what a great insight to the strategies in place.

Well done uncle maui

the old man speaks proper wale such a shame people diluting traditional language
