BigBro, would it be possible that the most famous shield and spears in Tiki iconography might have been "African" ? I'm sure the native Polynesians carried such things but did Tiki-style include weapons that were uniquely Oceanic? I always assumed these items were part of the African Pop Primitism cross-over. Uga Booga natives were always chasing the white expeditions with spear and shield in hand. [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2009-12-03 08:17 ]
