Island of Hawaii - The 2 different Tiki ("Kii" in Hawaiian) shots were taken at the Puuhonua o Honaunau (formerly called the City of Refuge). In ancient Hawaii there was only one penalty for breaking any of the laws death. If the person who broke the "kapu" could get to the City of Refuge, their crime was absolved by the priests and they could then eventually return to their village. The "if" was the key factor trying to escape from the warriors chasing after you, running over razor-sharp lava, swimming through shark-infested waters all at great distances while trying to make it to the refuge alive. The various "City of Refuges" on the Islands were positioned in extremely remote locations difficult to get to on purpose (a test of the will if you were tough enough to make it, you were smiled upon by the gods).
