"It's about Dayak people."




In Borneo Island ( Indonesia ) there are many kinds of Dayak ethnic who leave in the middle of the jungle, mountain and in the cave.

There are several Dayak ethnics which are famous and well known as Dayak Kaharingan, Dayak Bakumpay, Dayak Paser, Dayak Kenyah and the other.

In general they like to live for one place to others, moving from one area to another.

The Dayak always held a'ritual'( traditional party ) is hold at the time when there's a wedding party, when the time to plants comes, a funeral, a birth and when they will began a war. Kind of their weapons are"tombak, mandau, blowpipes and arrow."

There are several Dayak people that kill each other and eat the human flesh of the death enemies. We know them as Cannibal. Because there was no access for the religion and science to enter.

As usual they are fight for power, wealth and women to be married and also their aim to survive. But now, that is not happen anymore, there is no Cannibal. They are become modern people and already have their own religion.

Dayak people in general are kinds and so palite to the foreigners, but they will be angry if their living area disturb by the unresponsible people. They will be very dangerous when they are angry.

Dayak people led by a chief rulers and decision makers in each of the existing problem.

They are also diligent work and help each other.

How to trade using their"barter"and this system is an ancestral tradition for the Dayak people.

They also don't know the medical drugs, but when there's usually enough to be cured by taking medicine that comes from plants that were accompanied by reading spells. And they are very strong with magic is also used to fight or to war and also to show the attractions of a traditional party.

So many people dayak cultural heritage that began to subside due to the entry of scientific and technological civilization. So now they become and advanced society and their cultural heritage modern, but should be preserved and should receive the attention of local government.
