Niue (/ˈnjuːeɪ/ new-ay; Niuean: Niuē) is an island country in the South Pacific Ocean, 2,400 kilometres (1,500 mi) northeast of New Zealand within the triangle formed by Tonga to the west, Samoa to the north, and the Cook Islands to the east.
Its land area is 260 square kilometres (100 sq mi) and its population, predominantly Polynesian, is around 1,190. They commonly refer to the island as "The Rock", a reference to the traditional name "Rock of Polynesia".
Niueans are New Zealand citizens, and Queen Elizabeth II is head of state in her capacity as Queen of New Zealand. 90 to 95 percent of Niuean people live in New Zealand,[4] along with about 70% of the speakers of the Niuean language.[5]
Niue is not a member of the United Nations, but UN organisations have accepted its status as a freely-associated state as equivalent to independence for the purposes of international law.[6] As such, Niue is a full member of some UN specialised agencies (such as UNESCO,[7] and the WHO[8]),
The first European to sight Niue was Captain James Cook in 1774. He made three attempts to land but was refused permission to do so by the inhabitants. He named the island "Savage Island" because, as legend has it, the natives who "greeted" him were painted in what appeared to be blood. The substance on their teeth was hulahula, a native red banana.[13]
For the next couple of centuries, Niue was known as Savage Island until its original name, Niuē, which translates as "behold the coconut",[14] regained use.
The next notable European visitors were from the London Missionary Society, which arrived in 1846 on the "Messenger of Peace".
In the 2011 census, 67% of the population belonged to the Eklesia Niue (a national Congregationalist body). 10% were Latter-day Saints and 10% were Catholics. 2% were Jehovah's Witnesses, and a similar proportion had no religion.[58]
