Anthropologists have focused upon the form of the ceremony, on its origin and distribution through the Pacific, and on its psychological function as a symbol of Tonga's intricate social stratification (Bott 1972; Collocott 1927; Leach 1972; and Newell 1947).

97. Geography Cook Islands http://www1.uni-bremen.de/~hawaii/poly3.htm

Cook Islands General Information - Allgemeine Informationen Location / Lage The extension of the Cook Islands in the South Pacific is from nine degrees south of the equator to the Tropic of Capricorn. Samoa and Tonga flank the Cook Is. to the west and French Polynesia to the east. The Cook Islands have a total land area of 240 sq km. They are devided into the northern group and the southern group. Rarotonga, the largest island, has 67 sq km and is located in the southern group. It's also center of economy and administration. In 1994 the Cook Is. had 19,000 inhabitants. About 11,000 live in Rarotonga. The Cook Islanders live in a 'free association' with New Zealand. English and Maori are spoken on the islands. Currency The currency of the Cook Islands is the New Zealand Dollar with own additional coins and banknotes like the 3 $ note you see here. The front of the 3 $ banknote of the Cook Islands shows an outrigger which is a typical type of boots for Polynesia. The outrigger is paralel to the hull of the boat connected with two or more cross-beams. That way the boat gets more stability and it was possible for the Polynesian people to sail on the Pacific Ocean. On the back you see the young Ina who is brought by a shark to the island Mangaia Economy / Wirtschaft 1992 Cook Islands had a revenue of 53 Million NZ$ from tourism. 1991 the country imported goods for 94.5 Million NZ$ and exported goods for 9.4 Million NZ$. The main products for export are agricultural goods like papayas, coconuts and other tropical fruits.
