Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The small, scattered islands of the Cook group, the only islands in the Pacific to bear the name of the famous eighteenth-century navigator, occupy a central position in both Pacific geography and Polynesia art. Unfortunately, little of the material culture which Captain Cook might have seen in these islands survives today. Yet those artefacts which are preserved in museums clearly indicate the existence prior to European contact of a rich artistic tradition and a remarkable level of craftsmanship in a variety of materials: stone, shell, ivory, wood, leaf and feathers. The author describes the range and diversity of Cook Islands art, including both ceremonial and functional objects and outlines the materials employed, the processes of manufacture and the function of the objects within the context of traditional island society. About the author Dale Idiens became Assistant Keeper in charge of the ethnographic collections of the Royal Scottish Museum (now the National Museums of Scotland) in 1964 after graduating from university. These collections include a large Polynesian section with important Cook Islands material. As part of a project to develop the Cook Islands collection Dale Idiens visited Rarotonga in 1982 in order to commission replicas of traditional artefacts. Since 1983 she has been Keeper of the Department of History and Applied Art in the National Museums of Scotland and is Deputy Director (Collections) there.

Book excerpt: Picture-perfect images of enticing tropical lagoons, and coconut palm-rimmed beaches, set against a rugged and majestic mountainous backdrop: an understandably huge drawcard for visitors to Rarotonga! What many travellers to these shores are unaware of are fascinating and at times conflicting or controversial stories, about various landmarks around the island. This guide will tell you about: why people were urged by the early forebearers of Christianity to move from their inland homes in the mountains and valleys to the coast; significant marae where chiefly titles were invested and offerings made to the many deities; the intriguing stories of tūpāpāku (ghosts / spirits); the story behind the ‘curse’ of the never-completed ‘Sheraton Hotel’; and so much more. This is the ultimate guide to uncovering some of Rarotonga’s historical and culturally significant sites and stories. Explore the island following the simple directions and location information provided in this book, while learning about the fascinating history of this small island paradise.
