I also think your hut is way cool, the roof over the entry in particular is beautifully proportioned.

Further, I was not being hateful - believe me, if I was there would be no doubt - I was simply saying that
none of our Maori friends have ever taken offence at our Tiki rooms, in fact they do seem to like what I
have done and even gone as far as to say they will add to my collection if they happen to find any more
Polynesian artefacts.

If you're not familiar with the expression - chipped - If someone chips you, they are taking a swipe or taking
a shot at you - figuratively speaking.

Has someone confronted you about the cultural appropriation issue? or has it to do with your own inner struggle?

Would be interested to hear if anyone else has taken flak over these issues.

p.s. What ever you do - don't get the kiwis started on the Bledisloe Cup, sheeeesh!...
