Mangaia

Mangaia is one of the least visited of the Southern Cooks. Myself and three others were the first tourists on the island for two weeks! If You are looking for peace and quiet, this is the place to go!

Kia Orana to all the beautiful Mangaians out there! My name is Nadine Taureka & my roots stem back to the village of Tamarua-woop woop! I am the daughter of Ngatokorua Nooanga Mataora Nooraroa (aka Noo Taureka)who is the birth son of Metua Nooraroa & Makiakama Makiiti. He was raised in Tamarua by Taureka & Ngatamaine Pareina. I have never been to Mangaia but am planning to get there eventually to embrace my roots. These photos are absolutely inspiring and have made me homesick for a place that I have never been and have only heard about through yarns from my father-R.I.P Dad.

Kia Orana to all the families and peoples of Mangaia. Luv these photos and perfect shots, thank you to Jan Erik Johnsen. You can't get better scenes anywhere else than the paradise island of Mangaia. What more can you ask for and there's no place like home. If you are somehow connected to the "NANGAITI FAMILY", they will be holding a family reunion in Auckland later this year in December (2010). If you are interested in further details please contact our family secretary, Tata Nangaiti on 021-1185758 or send an email to: t.boldero@yahoo.com.

Hello Itiao! It is perfectly OK to use my photos from Mangaia in your teaching! Warm regards Jan Erik

Itiao Aniterea Tapena		12-Sep-2008 19:49
Tangi ke Jan.What a blessing for the Mangaians and the people of the Cook Islands to have these beautiful photos. I'm a teacher at Southern Cross Campus in Mangere, Auckland, NZ and just wondering if it's ok for me to use your photos as part of my teaching resourses in our Cook Island Culture Club. I'm also wondering if someone could help me find my roots in Mangaia. My grandma, Matavairoa is from Mangaia. She married my grandpa, TeauTapena from Ngati Itiao of Arorangi. I've heard stories that she's from the Anania family and her mother is Kuara. Would appreciate very much if someone could help. Meitaki maata e na te Atua tatou katoatoa e tauturu mai i te au ra ki mua. Itiao

Tuaka Brown		25-Aug-2008 04:30
Kia orana ete iti tangata o Mangaia, I never get sick of looking at these photos and certainly makes me terribly home sick. Went home in 2006 for a couple of weeks and bawled all the way back to Rarotonga - sooooo didnt want to come back. We are planning on travelling back to Mangaia in a couple of years when our son Martin finishes his degree. He was only 14 months when we left Mangaia and he plans on coming back to Mangaia to stay - he spent seven weeks there when he was 15 and vowed to come back there one day (for good). Meitaki ngao to Jan Erik Johnsen for these beautiful snapshots of our homeland. Much love to all our fanau - Gizzy Browns [Martin (Snr), Tuaka, Tearoa & Samuel (her son & our Moko), Martin (Jnr) and Lee]

Guest		01-Jul-2008 20:00
I love these photos. I am hoping to visit these islands next year. Your photos certainly inspired me.

Rongo Sue McGreal		20-Jun-2008 11:28
Kia Orana, how beautiful!the little piece of heaven on earth, so lovely for all our old people to see Mangaia in its natural beauty and in colour. Thank you for the best photos ever seen,where ever we are we "let the Mangaian out of the cave" stand straight and speak our words of truth and wisdom. Kia Manuia to all Mangaians in the www.

I was so greatful 2 see these beautiful photos of Mangaia as it always brings back the best memories of my childhood days!! It was only 2 years ago that i was able 2 travel back home from where i am currently residing (Melb. Australia) after 11 long years of being away from my homeland. I am also proud to say that i & along with the rest of the Mangaian Community here in Australia will be returning back 2 battle da sports grounds of Tumutevarovaro/Rarotonga in a competition better known as the Mangaia Tri-Series Dec 2008. Unfortunately the games were unable 2 be taken back to Mangaia but that will not stop us from spending the remaining of our holiday there. So to all family & friends back home...we shall be seeing you all at the end of the year!!! Get READY....becos your people are coming back home!!! ...>>>IE-KOKO<<<...

Keu Tangimataiti. Jan Eric Johnsen,Thank you for providing these photos which triggers memories to all the Mangaians living across the globe.I too went back in 2007-2008 and wept all the way back to Raro after leaving Mangaia. So sad also to see the very few that remain on the Island and the struggle and sacrifice they are doing to maintain the local economy.I am also considering a move over there. Once again Thank you Jan and may god bless you.

Maungaati Tetonga We have just finished our first Tetonga and Te Apaia reunin here in Hastings, NZ. Maraea (Tumai) family, Maungaati, Tareke, and Turi family attend the reunion. It was most enjoyable, very informative for all families. Unfortunately the Iorangi family was unable to attend but hope they will attend the next one. We are looking having another reunion in 2012-2013, this will be held in Mangaia. We are already planning it. I will be contacting families in Australia, Cooks and NZ to start fundraising and saving for this reunion. Our papa'anga has started and their will be more names to be added to this list. If you are connected to the family mentioned above please let us/me know. Kia orana maata

Makiroa Noomaara		05-Dec-2007 03:42
Kia Orana kotou katoatoa i te aroa maata o to tatou atua! and a special Kia Orana to the photographer Jan Erik Johnsen for the fantastic photos you took of our beautiful paradise island "Mangaia". My family genealogy work prompted me to search the net to get pictures of Mangaia Island to include in my work and it surprisingly led me to your beautiful photos of our hidden paradise. I think these are the best and most extensive photos I have seen on the net of Mangaia Island, and thank you. I have not been there for 33 years but we have a family tere going there in 2008 and so we are all looking forward to touching base with our ancestral land. My sister Maiata had the privilege of staying at aunty Tu's Aramoana 2006. Thanks for the opportunity to express my thoughts. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. Kia Manuia!

Linda Zoll		22-Oct-2007 06:23
What a blessing. Thank you to Mr Johnsen for your beautiful photos of home. It's been 20 years since I left the island and have not been back to visit. I do plan to take my husband and children back so they can see the most beautiful island in the Cooks. Thanks again and may God bless you.

kia orana to all the people of Mangaia. I am the grandson of Ngametua Kareroa and the son of Kimiora Kareroa, its been many years since i was there but looking at those pictures makes me wonder why i live in a heavely populated area with freaks and caose when i could quit easly go and catch up with my extended family in the most beutifull place i'v ever been in my 35yrs.

tourist		06-Feb-2007 04:32
Kia ora to the people of mangaia, these pic's are really lovely and beautiful. Just looking at them, I now can't wait to come to Mangaia for da holidays. So, we'll see u soon. Mary

Kimi Nooroa		01-Feb-2007 11:35
Hi Jan and the rest of my Mangaian people living in all 4 corners of the world. Yes it is true that these pics brings our hearts closer to home, but yes that is definitely true. I've been back two Christmas's in a row now after being away from home 12 years and I just love being home. Before leaving Mangaia for Rarotonga on Jan the 12th, I was informed that we are having a School Reunion Year 1967!!!, and now I will be going back again at the end of the year, so those reading and checking the site, I could only encourage you to pay a visit home, cos I tell you, you are going to miss Mangaia when you leave the place. It happened to me..my first visit back 2005-2006, I started crying from Oneroa where I live to the Airport all the way to Rarotonga. I was a real cry baby, but those tears got me back to Mangaia this 2006-2007, and I cant wait till the end of the year but it looks like I going back earlier and to stay, but dont hold me on that but its more likely to happen so do the same my people. Anyway, if you happen to go back home, dont forget to call in and see Jan and Tu at the Aramoana. I will also like to say hello to my nephews and nieces David Kana in Auckland, Mare, Tangi, Daniel, Reuera and to my young brother Junior Torotoro and wife Maria in Sydney and all who are browsing. Thankyou ngao, and compliments of the season to you and love yous all. Kimi Nooroa, Auckland, NZ Mob 0212115916, Hm (09)2981076, email: knooroa1@yahoo.co.nz.

Thankyou for the lovely photos. I cry as I could have been raised there. Now I'm 34 years old and often wonder what my life would be if my grandmother never died. I was brought to Sydney Australia as a 14 month year old. I am Australian but my heart still beats for Mangaia. How I miss my homeland.

Jan Erik Johnsen		03-Oct-2006 14:07
