Abstract

bird, which was once plentiful on the island of Atiu. Before it became almost extinct, its feathers were used for the cloaks and headdresses of high chiefs. In a joint effort in April, naturalists and Atiuans brought in twenty-seven birds from Rimatara Island in French Polynesia (CIN, 28 April 2007, 1). As part of its Unit Titles Bill initiative the Tepaki group purchased the twelve-unit Castaway property for nz$2.3 million, adding to their recent purchases of Manea Beach for nz$1.8 million, and Lagoon Lodges for nz$4 million, with expected settlements for the Aquarius and the Manuia Beach properties (CIN, 2 May 2007, 1). The Tepaki group also maintains a keen interest in building a high-rise apartment block on the Cook Islands High Commission office location in New Zealand. The New Zealand High Court had ruled against Tepaki's socalled "diplomatic project," which planned to turn the Cook Islands High Commission chancery in Wellington into a high-rise office and apartment complex.
