Pacific Islanders in the Americas makes a whole lot more sense than Amerindians in the Pacific. We native Americans were shore huggers mostly. There are some dragonfly and other petroglyphs in the ancient lava fields a few miles from my house that are identical to some Hawaiian ones. A few scientists have theorized, but we're pretty far inland... If that Hei tiki is fer real that's sum damn good proof of Maori sailing! Wouldn't surprise me a bit, whereas red headed viking indians from Peru colonizing the Pacific ala Thor Heyerdahl seems mighty unlikely...

The bird man with kava kava type riblets is very pleasing to the eye. With the green jade color, beaky protrusion, and the rib ridge outlined it makes my mind see it as a sea horse as well! The new tikis are Kewl dude (sorry, can't find any compliments for your "kickass" hei tikis that haven't already been stated)!

Yahey!
