Te Kainga ("the Home") [1] is one of 11 islands in the Rakahanga atoll of the Cook Islands. [2] The island once served as the principal inhabited island of Rakahanga, but the settlement was moved to Rakahanga Island in the missionary era. [1] The single village was shared by the atoll's four tribes, and was surrounded by five marae : Punariku, Avarua, Huku-wananga, Mua, and Variu. [3]
