Dang, I have referred many to her site. While I get her points, I also get the tremendous impact her site has made documenting tiki, and that loss saddens me. That information still has value. It’s as if someone said, “Let’s not talk about wars because they are bad.” Where does that leave us? I’ll leave that to the reader to decide.

I may be completely uninformed, but my impression for many years is that Humuhumu was extremely pressed for time due to the many things we all deal with in life. I can’t criticize her personal decision - it must make sense to her. And I respect that.

With regard to tiki, I think it is a natural manifestation of our human creative nature and not any direct attack on peoples of the Pacific Islands per se. Few human things are perfect. And I will leave it at that.

Critiki will be missed. And I would not be surprised to see something else arise to fill the void.

Cheers and a huge mahalo to Humuhumu and her many years of hard work. Her efforts are hugely appreciated and will be missed.
