First the bad news: I would have to guess you're new to TikiCentral. Had you been more familiar with TC you wouldn't have wasted your time banging in your piece of tiki edification (cite your sources!). We, as a group, could care less about the cultural origins of all things tiki, and are more concerned with the sticking of straws into tiki's head and sucking out tropically-themed libations. Yes, we know. We are a vast desert of sociological understanding. Cross-cultural heathens, gazing with desire at the primative cultures' odd ways. The last scientific survey of Tiki Central members found that 94.0038% (with .002 margin of error) thought Trader Vic created the first tiki and brought it to Waikiki after divorcing Sunny Sund. In another survey 93.948872% (with .0002020 margin of error)thought that if tiki did in fact exist in Polynesia, it was only to promote the coming of Western civilization. Oh yeah, the Good news: You found us, Welcome to Tiki Central!
