Join Lost LA host Nathan Masters at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, California, to view its large collection of Oceanic art and learn the story of Pacific Islanders through their own material culture. Discover the origins of the word "Tiki" from Māori mythology — and how tiki bars drew their decor inspiration from multiple cultures, including the Polynesian triangle, Papua New Guinea and other parts of Melanesia and beyond.

Learn how museums and other cultural institutions grapple with cultural appropriation, cultural imperialism, and ethical acquisition of artifacts that help educate the public about cultural heritage.
