Description

This is a 1990s PHOTO COPY from DISNEY IMAGINEERING RESEARCH Dept. and NOT ORIGINAL Vintage PHOTOGRAPH
This is RESEARCH PHOTO COPY from the 1990s of a page featuring a Walt Disney & a some International Dignitaries and a DISNEYLAND TIKI in RAROTANGA Style peeking out in the back.
Some of you may be old enough to remember this giant tribal figure near the one of the gateways to Adventureland.
Perhaps you even took a photograph next to it.  LeRoy suspects that the durable figure (which had been stationed inside Disneyland for the first few years), was likely “formed out of mahogany or something of that nature.”
He further shares with us, that this “true-life” Rarotonga figure came from Mr. Carter’s personal collection and was carved in Samoa (likely by one of the native artists, at the arrangement of Mr. Carter).
The current whereabouts of the original statue are currently unknown.  However, a similar one currently stands just beyond the entrance to Oceanic Arts today!
