Also why is the Easter Island stuff link with the Hawaiian/Polynesian stuff?
My Tiki collection is strictly on the Hawaiian/Polynesian side and don't incorporate any of the Easter Island stuff.
I think no qualified resource is questioning the polynesian heritage of easter island. Further more, the tiki around here is more like in tiki-mug, not that one polynesian god. All the easter island style mugs and related design stuff is going back to Thor Heyerdahl’s popularity in the mid-century.
Many good bars and restaurants go for a trader/beachcomber theme, or the seven-seas theme incorporating lots of native art or design inspired by the many cultures of the pacific area.
A pure Hawaiian style place would be that in a nutshell, anyway. There’s alao the hawaiiana/polynesian pop collectors - which is to tiki what hapa haole music is to exotica, it has got a narrower focus on hawaii.
