The Kayan culture is one that is rich with cultural diversity, and it’s important to appreciate and preserve it for future generations. The Kayan people are categorized as part of the Dayak communities of Borneo, and this book focuses on the Sarawak tribe with special reference to the Kayan Uma Pu clan. In addition to learning about the Kayans through an assortment of beautiful pictures, you’ll learn about tribal customs, beliefs, and more. Get insights on how: Kayans expanded their living area over time; communication occurs even without an alphabet; villagers resolve household and community disputes; beliefs and omens play a critical role in their society. The Kayans have survived so long because they cooperate and stick together, even though they’re scattered over a large area. While they’ve often been displaced, they’ll enjoy a much brighter future if the world seeks to understand their culture, heritage, and accomplishments.
