Dayak People
The Dayak people are the indigenous inhabitants of the island of Borneo, primarily found in the regions of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei. They are known for their rich cultural heritage, which includes traditional music, dance, and intricate crafts. The Dayak community is diverse, comprising various sub-groups, each with its own unique customs and languages.
Traditionally, the Dayak people were known as headhunters, but this practice has largely ceased. Today, they engage in agriculture, hunting, and fishing for their livelihoods. The Dayak maintain a strong connection to their ancestral lands and are actively involved in efforts to preserve their cultural identity and protect their environment.
