Are you alive?

[@gtbwi]

wow this is incredible... I became fascinated with the Cook Islands through books written by Robert Dean Frisbie and Tom Neale... I've always wanted to make my way there someday I live in United States maybe it's just a dream.. I should find out about immigration laws to see if it's even possible God bless

I was watching the movie Against the Sun after I realized the story about that beautiful Iceland. I would like to visit that Iceland and all domestic people on the Pukapuka Iceland. Wish all the beat to all people from Pukapuka . Greetings from Serbia - Europe.

The language is strikingly similar to Tokelau

[@Losing4Life]

I have a question for any pukapukans. I am just wondering if anyone remembers a Mormon missionary by the name of Dennis Gray that lived on the island in the 1960's?

[@Tsnore]

Why not enlist Robert Dean Frisbie's books and art to attract residents?

[@Tongarevapwince]

Iaue Pukapuka E.. I have no connection to you, however we are Northerners.. Karoha.. I hope to one place my feet on Pukapuka as I journey to my Homeland Penrhyn..

[@zabaanshenaas]

I am really interested in languages, and would love to learn Pukapukan.

[@seascape35]

It looks to me that Puka-Puka may need to consider some type of immigration program as an aid to maintaining the population. Declining native birth rates and emigration cannot be countered merely by asking the original natives to come home.

[@stirlinghebenstreit2085]

Ata Wai wolo, this is Robert Dean Frisbie's grandson, Stirling. Yes, by all means send people to RDF's works, they are worth the work he put into the island's history, it will always be cemented in writing chalices forever. Aside for that, Im writing a climate change parer for this quarter's finals, and Pukapuka is the center piece, so let's check it out when it's finished and do a little social networking for the nation and our people, right? Surely! haha..Surely we would all do something if we could, and if we can, we do, we write a research paper for a final, in America, right, or wherever you are, right? And, we publish the 'TUTAIMORE' 'the living shit out of it, right? There's not much else we can do right now, but I plan to go home and make a stink! Take some good technology and have a huge party to celebrate our homecoming, right? So stay posted and I will too, stay together stay strong, and yes, support each other in this endeavor, it's the ONLY WAY!
