Based on stone tools, sacred objects, secret rituals, and daily life articles, collected by O.W. Hampton and kept in California, Christopher Buckley portrays in 'Stone and Fibre: Daily Life in the Baliem Valley, Papuathe Baliem Valley' the Hubula (Dani) peoples of the Grand Valley of the Baliem River in the central highlands of Papua. There is more than a book. In May 2026, the collection has been shipped to Jakarta, and from there to Papua. Initially, it will be housed in the Museum Lokabudaya in Jayapura. But the plan is for the collection to become the core of a new museum in Wamena (the regional capital of the highland area).
