Here I am next to the Hawaiian Tiki God. Actually, I was visiting a recreation of an Oceanic settlement that was extant before the intrusion of the white man (and women) . It revealed intrusion of our culture into the fabric of the Islands. With mild climate and tropic breezes the simulation of paradise is intoxicating. It is remarkable that a reliance on sustainability is not rampant or even a spiritual obsession with a place so far from the mainland.
