We dance to honour the 15 Islands of the Cook Islands. 🌺 Though separated by land, we are forever connected by the ocean, carrying our stories, our strength, and our spirits across every wave. Each island has its own heartbeat, yet we move as one living body tied by the sea and our culture. 🎥@jannamaitumutoa 🎶@samsonsquad | Cook Islands

Cook Islanders are war
