Indigenous Culture
Borneo's Dayak groups - (in)famous for having once practised headhunting - have lived
in harmony with the rainforest for thousands of years, in remote communities based on
mutual reliance and responsibility. Even a short longhouse visit offers insights into their
age-old traditions - and the ways they're adapting to modern life. Come during a festival
and you may be asked to join in the merriment, liberally lubricated with
tuak
(rice wine).
