- The tongue tiki statue is also called the Tahitian Tongue. Tahiti is part of the French Polynesia Islands. One of the main specialities of the Tahitians was wood carving. From weapons to canoes and even statues, the Tahitians believed statues were idols not to worship, but spiritual additions to rituals. They also performed sacrifice rituals simular to the aztec. According to archeologists, Tiki Statues were symbols of power, both religious and political to the Polynesians Islands.
- Tiki Statues have been a form of communication across all
cultures.
- They replicate humans and depict a part of who we all are.
- In Polynesian culture they sometimes believed they were with the spirit of the statue.
