I've never heard of Hawaiian head hunters. I know this was practiced in Brazil And maybe Africa...but you have to admit shrunken heads are a part of our folklore and as such hold a place in our kitsch culture. I got my fist shrunken head at Disneyland's adventureland souvenier shop. My uncle had one hanging from the mirror of his '57 Chevy in 1963. It was the perfect compliment to his 8-ball gearshift nob.
