Now, according to wiki-tiki...

"In M?ori mythology, Tiki is the first man, created by either T?matauenga or T?ne. He found the first woman, Marikoriko, in a pond; she seduced him and he became the father of Hine-kau-ataata. By extension, a tiki is a large wooden carving in humanoid form, although this is a somewhat archaic usage in the M?ori language. Carvings similar to tikis are found in most Central Eastern Polynesian cultures. They often serve to mark the boundaries of sacred or significant sites."

So he's basically the Maori equivalent of Adam.

In this carving from Hawaii I think you can see some semblance to the clean lines of the Tiger 1:

Don't you think so Alpha?

(If there was an emoticon for 'ducking into a foxhole' that is what I would choose right now.)
