I doubt that they still exist because they are considered too un-p.c. nowadays. They are in direct lineage to the European "Voelkerschauen" (people shows) which I mention on page 37 of the BOT and pages 17/18/19 of Tiki Modern, where live natives (including American Indians) performed daily activities in recreated villages. The cultures shown here all were German South Sea colonies at the turn of the century, when the museum was built: Salomon Islands Samoa New Ireland (used to be Neu-Mecklenburg)
