Celebrating Cook Islands Language Week 2020 by sharing the words of some amazing Cook Islanders... writers from the past, and students + scholars from today.

This 'Bonus' language week episode accompanies four longer podcast episodes that feature a different Cook Islands scholar (based in Tokoroa, Wellington, Dunedin and Rarotonga) who has worked with Kuki 'Airani writing as part of the 'Writing the New World' project.
