My full name is Ngaakaara Kita Taria Pureariki, People call me Ngaa… that’s pretty much easier to pronounce. I grew up on Aitutaki with my grand Papa & Mama… well that’s their Tupuna’s (ancestors) name. Let me explain the meaning of this name in a short version. The name Ngaakaara kita Taria Pureariki came from the Nga-pu-toru, particularly Enuamanu know today as Atiu. My Grand Father’s Family came from the Chief line. I’m very proud to have carried this very important name. My point is when you are named in various high ranging there is a reason why they name you that, to carry their work for generations to come. 8 years ago I walked down the valley of my Tupuna and this is where the end begin.
