Hawaiian Tikis - A Cultural Perspective - General Tiki

I really enjoyed reading about the "Kona style" & how this is the style considered to be "Hawaiian". Why is this style considered to be "Hawaiian" more than other styles? Also, I'm left wondering just how many Hawaiian styles there are. Are the "Amakua style Tikis" a individual style in the same sense that the "Kona style" tikis are? Could you be using the word "style" to mean a few different things? Example: "There are a number of characteristics that distinguished the Amakua style Tikis from other style s of Tikis such as the Ku group." What's the difference between a style & a group? By the way, have you read Martha Beckwith's HAWAIIAN MYTHOLOGY, especially Chapter 8? Oh yeah, I agree w/ Tiki Bong & dogbytes about citing your resources & showing pics to illustrate the more descriptive bits. Anyway, thanks again for posting the piece. Will you post subsequent re-writes? TIKI BONG: Sorry. Upon the 2nd & 3rd readings the joke was pretty obvious. Still, the first 2 paragraphs seemed pretty harsh (of course, I'm not always the kinder, gentler Tiki Chris that I should be either). THECHIKITIKI: Yeah, that middle tiki's real funny looking...HEY! Wait-uh-secon...tha's.... Tiki Chris [ Edited by: Tiki Chris on 2002-09-28 03:21 ]
