Here's a set of photographs from the 1921 National Geographic article, The Islands of the Pacific. Some nice shots of native art, but no tikis, unfortunately.






And since this is NatGeo, you just know it's got a bunch of shots of topless native women in it. Now I'm not trying to start up a retro pr0n service or anything, but I couldn't resist scanning this one shot of a Nauru woman (mild nudity) getting ready to do the "Dance of the Fish." The accompanying text reads:

"The Dance of the Fish must be a joyous one for its participants. The finny decorations range in color from rainbow to scarlet, blue, yellow, black, and green, and are eaten when the dance is finished."

I'd think I'd replace the word "joyous" with "hilarious".
