Seeking an answer to why the event occurred the way that it did,The Polynesian Iconoclasm explores the 10 years in the early 19th century during which inhabitants of Tahiti, Hawaii & 15 related societies destroyed or desecrated their temples & god-images. In the aftermath, hundreds of architecturally innovative churches were constructed.
