I actually shudder that Hawaii continues to rid itself of its Tiki palaces, regardless of expert Tiki historians, the true origin of Tiki is not Hawaii, but Rapa Nui. According to Dr. Van Tilburg of the Easter Island Project, the first "tiki" were the Moai on Anakena Bay, the landing site of the tiki godfather, Hotu Motu'a, which became a sared religious site and is now called Ahu Nau Nau.
