Tiki Oasis Producers Whether it was a World's Fair or 's Tomorrowland (1955), It seemed Otto & Baby Doe von Stroheim that the interest in other worlds in was just as intriguing as man's curiosity for primitive cultures. All World's Fairs had "ethnic" exhibits displaying exotic and ancient traditions1 alongside the most modern Sponsorship, Advertising, Vending aspects of technology. Similarly, with a short walk across Disnelyland's Main Christi Crowe @ FLAG Marketing Street, tourists travelled from the advanced technologies of Tomorrowland to the wilds of Adventureland's Tiki Room and Jungle Cruise.

From late 19th century Jules Verne Sci-Fi voyages to the perfect future of The Jetsons (and their primitive counterparts The Flintstones); From Fritz Lang's Futurist inspired Metropolis (1927) to The Enterprise's search for the final frontier, man's love of and Primitivism have run parallel in space (Mars and the Moon) as it has on earth (the remote islands of The Polynesian Triangle).

Captain James Cook desired to go "farther than any other man has been before". He discovered many remote islands as well as sailing to Antarctica and being the first to chart parts of Alaska, the final frontier of the Age of Discovery. Ironically we ended up putting a man on the moon decades before we discovered the last tribes in the mountains of Papua New Guinea2. Just as Captain Cook's Endeavor sailed uncharted seas, Star Trek Captain James T. Kirk's Enterprise took voyages into outer space to discover "strange new worlds, uncharted civilizations, and exotic people" and "boldly go where no man has been before!"
