Tiki isn't the American appropriation of Polynesian culture. It is the colonization of the American psyche by Polynesia. It is not an unsubtle difference.

I've actually got an article about this subject that I've written fro my Disney blog... I was going to post it in November when Moana comes out because I'm sure there will be cries of cultural appropriation, but I might push it forward now, or give a preview here on the forum.
