Hi Bman,
I'd call it a friendly tiki. I have a bunch of tikis at my shop, and it seems like even customers are never sure. Some call 'em tikis, some call them totems, and others call em tiki totems. If it helps you can check out
Hey Everybody! It's Konakai.com! for some polynesian style tiki's. As far as totem poles go, they seem to always be elusive online. Maybe the local library will have a book or two?
Good Luck,
Tim
