Are tikis pagan? Yes, but so is the Cupid on your Valentine's Day card,, the tree on your Christmas card and the eggs on your Easter card. All are commercialized references to a pagan past in a Christianized present. Perhaps that is the signifigance. Tikis represent a rebellion aganst the present culture. Even the reverence for the Polynesian Pop of the fifties represents a rejection of the present.
