The Taboo Tiki Lounge

The Taboo Tiki Lounge in Indianapolis, IN, reflects a deep respect for the beauty and complexity of Native Hawaiian culture, which has been shaped by a historical context that includes the impact of outside influences on the islands. The establishment seeks to foster a greater understanding of Pacific cultures while acknowledging the challenges and misrepresentations they face, both in the islands and on the mainland.

The Lounge is influenced by the insights of Humuhumu Trott, a passionate advocate for recognizing authentic cultural representations, who has spent years exploring and critiquing the portrayal of Polynesian themes in American pop culture. It aims to create an engaging space for patrons to appreciate the richness of these cultures, while also promoting thoughtful dialogue around their historical and ongoing realities.
