I had no clue what (a) tiki

I had no clue what (a) tiki was. Reading up on the possible meaning, I came upon this:
"In traditions from New Zealand, the first human is a woman created by Tane, God of forests and of birds. Usually her name is Hine-ahu-one. In other legends, Tāne makes the first man, Tiki, then makes a wife for him. In some versions, Tiki himself creates the first human by mixing his own blood with clay, and Tāne then makes the first woman."

Reading this, the story of the Golem immediately came to my mind. Interesting how recurring elements are found throughout the histories of peoples all across the globe.

A Tiki Hut is something Polynesian that implies a stick built bar built near the beach or a pool and usually has a stick roof to keep the most of the Sun off of you
