I thought it was understood that "Tiki" was a mainlanders interpretation of polynesia that became popular nostalgia.

Tiki, like pizza or sushi, can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of the background, right?

With that said, I'm Filipino. I lived on Oahu long enough to rate a "Kama'aina" sticker on my ID and to know that the locals see tiki so much that it would be like me setting up a shrine to gas stations in my basement or displaying a construction horse in my yard.
