The traditional name for Mangaia is A'ua'u Enua. A'ua'u means “terraced island” in the Cook Islands language, and it is a fitting name for this beautiful island. Mangaia is surrounded by a ring of high cliffs that are made of fossil coral and creates a series of terraces that lead down to the sea.

The Gap in Mangaia, connects Oneroa on the seaside to the villages above. The story that was shared was that the NZ army used explosives to create a gap in the rock, big enough to drive through. Look how thick the rock is! Just wow 🤩 #mangaia #cookislands #cookislandsliving #thegap | Cook Islands' Living

Mangaia is one of our most unique islands in the Cook Islands, so full of surprises in its formation and landscape. I love the reef, the caves and the uruatete, the lake, and the middle part of the island known as the Kainga where people plant their crops and taro. One of the surprises I saw after our reefwalking experience with my travelling buddies was the freshwater coming out from underground and flowing into the sea. Also the Great Wall of Mangaia😊 Amazing structure. | Moments IN TIME

While the people of Mangaia have a rich history of using bamboo for traditional fishing, the specific claim that they used a type of "Japan bamboo" is likely inaccurate. The bamboo they used was likely a locally available or Polynesian-introduced species, not one imported from Japan in earlier times. Traditional Mangaian fishing. Mangaian people have long-standing traditional fishing methods, including the use of simple, raw bamboo poles for reef fishing, a practice that continues today. Locally
