Critiki was an online database that cataloged over 1,000 tiki bars and Polynesian pop culture locations worldwide, both past and present. Founded by Humuhumu Trott in 2002, it served as a resource for those interested in the history and aesthetic of Polynesian-themed establishments.
Despite its popularity, Trott recognized the limitations of Critiki and the need for a more authentic engagement with Native Hawaiian and Pacific cultures. After years of reflection, she concluded it was time for the platform to come to an end in 2022, emphasizing the importance of aligning personal values with a broader understanding of cultural representation.
