A complete Pacific village and lagoon was re-created for participating nations of the South Pacific for their representation at Expo '88. Cool waters and swaying palm trees greeted tiresome guests, where they could be entertained by performances of traditional South Pacific islands dancing, music and view traditional cultural activities, such as basket weaving and other craft-work.

Amongst other displays, at the Solomon Islands representation one could view the carving of an ancient war canoe - some 9 metres long - by a traditional elder.
