Wow, I'm so blown away I couldn't even log in correctly.
Thank you, This is exactly what I wanted. I am not a writer and could never have the words to so eloquently convey the mission of this museum project. I agree with your position on the ethics of poly pop There is a clean slate to tell the story, artifacts haven't been looted we have created them. I have lived in the south Pacific and for me "tiki" stems from my love of original oceanic art. I do believe there is a way to artfully weave the two together to illustrate the whole story.
I also think your recommendations for board members are right on. You are the experts,and my purpose in putting this museum project out there is to reach those with the knowledge. It just seems to me that a museum is the next step. I think Hawaii would be the best location ultimately. Dawn
