Best Answer

They are called Cook Islanders. They are sometimes called a Rarotongan because it is the most populous island in the Cook Islands. In countries like New Zealand where there are many Cook Islanders, they call themselves, or are referred to by others as a Cookie (short for Cook Islander), or Raro (Short for Rarotongan).
