There are so many good books about authentic Polynesian art it's hard to know where to start, but one I scored recently that I would rate near the top of my list is "Art and Life in Polynesia" by Terence Barrow. There are plenty of other good recommendations in the existing book threads and you're better off focusing on culture-specific titles (rather than catch-all Oceanic art titles, with a few obvious exceptions) to really get the best reference sources you can.
