World expos provide a platform to showcase innovation that's shaping the world. Expo 2021 in the United Arab Emirates is continuing the tradition and Māori are centre stage with Te Aratini, a forum for indigenous ideas being hosted by the Iwi Chairs Forum and New Zealand Māori Tourism.
On entering the Aotearoa Pavilion the sound of karanga, karakia and poi fills the whare. It's an invitation to the rest of the world to come to see Māori culture.
