  • Hi Dan,

    Yes. I remember those conferences.

    In the early days they used to be held in Karubaga.

    We were stationed in 'Kobakma' with the Nggem people. (similar to the Dani).

    We were there from 1974 till 1982.

    My parents were Earl & Julie Hughes.

    regards

    Wayne Hughes

  • Hi Dan,

    Just saw your video. I only know a

    bit of Dani, but did you/your family spend time up there when you were younger?

    I used to live near Wamena in the 70's/80's.

    Regards

    Wayne

  • Hey Wayne,

    Ya, I was born in Papua and grew up in Ilaga, further to the west among the Western Dani. My parents' annual conferences took place at Pyramid, so it was great to be back there, even if just for an afternoon and night! I overlapped with you in the the 70's. Where did you live exactly?

    I hope to again upload more videos, though most of them are taken in the Jakarta vacinity.

    Thanks for writing, Dan

  • Eeyh Labogo! Wa Wa!! Sorry for taking so long to respond to you. Thanks for your compliment... even though I would need to improve a LOT! ha. Do you live in Papua? If so, I'm jealous. ;)

  • hei..... oh my god so amazing... u are speaking great. am speaking a bit alsooooooo...

    ejah oooooooooooo, kaonak eeeeeee wah wha wha...

  • Yes, he did. ;) But I figured, "fair enough... He's let me get him on video and in the Baliem there are enough tourists for him to know this is one way to make money." Do I know you?

  • Did he ask you for lima ribu rupiah at the end of the video?

  • Dan,

    great video - you should post more!

    Margie

  • Hey Margie, Papua buddy! Thank you. Yes, I will post more... And btw, thank you for the use of your home-sweet-home that night without you even knowing it! ... It was great getting you dad's report of his recent trip there.

  • Hey Uncle Dan! - Would it not be rare to run into someone who knew who you were??? Wow, that is so cool.

  • Hey Cindy! Yes that was cool. And speaking of COOL, your time-lapse speed-paintins are VERY COOL!

  • Hey! Good to see you back home...you remembered your Dani well!

  • Thanks Ro... yes, it was so good to be back. If I get back to SEAsia, I want to make a habit of it.
