*"That facet of the roots of Tiki style is a Wikipedia-type cliche that has been way overstated ..."


Let's define "Hawaiiana", now:
Wikipedia:
Hawaiiana is a popular term of academia...etc."*


Bro, why are you denouncing Wikipedia as a second class repository of cliches and then quoting it as a defacto source of definitions?

And - your entire later arguement about Hawaiiana dances around the fact that by far the most Tikis in the U.S. were made in Hawaii for the tourist trade. (It's still true to this day.) Why ignore Hawaiian made Tikis as a giant cultural influence on mainland culture?
