Not sure of how much tiki influence this region had but they mention. "Their carved figures tend to be small, possibly because wood is scarce, and very spiritual, serving a protective function by maintaining positive relations between humans and the divine," http://www.presstelegram.com/ci_11676445 [ Edited by: Mongoloid 2009-02-11 09:15 ]
