Taking Political Correctness to a New Height - Beyond Tiki

From the tribes perspective, they believe they have been living under a curse since the incident, and that in atoning for the dinner, the curse will be lifted. After reading the article which remarks upon some of the societal problems these people have, it sounds like they need more government assistance than curse lifting, but I guess it's up to them to decide what works best. I found several links to the story online by searching Google with "Thomas Baker" "Fiji". Here's one link to the story on BBC. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3263163.stm
