The title phrase comes directly from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, spoken as the password of the Seeonee wolf pack — a declaration of kinship across species. Cook Islands licensed the phrase for this issue as part of a broader series celebrating wildlife conservation themes, a niche the territory's mint programs have aggressively cultivated since the 1990s to generate revenue independent of its tiny domestic economy.
