Summary This book explores the people of the Kikori River Delta, in the Gulf of Papua, as established historical agents of intercultural exchange. One hundred years after they were taken, reproductions of Frank Hurleys colonial-era photographs are returned to the descendants of the Kerewo and Urama peoples whom he photographed. The book illuminates ways in which the movement, use, and exchange of objects can produce distinctive and unrecognised forms of value and presents a reconsideration of the colonial legacies that continue to affect the social and political worlds of people in the twenty-first century.
