caption_attribution_description: English: Tukoroirangi Morgan at New York, April 28, 2009—The halls of the United Nations echoed with singing and chanting today during the colorful and lively traditional Maori ceremony to welcome UNDP Administrator Helen Clark. The event, called a powhiri (pronounced “poor-fee-ree”), began with the thunderous sounding of a conch shell and a Maori warrior’s dance, and ended with Helen Clark, the former Prime Minister of New Zealand, and her Maori delegation pressing noses with senior UN officials in a “hongi.”
