the Dayak tribe

2. Dayak tribe of
borneo, inDonesia
INTRODUCTION
Dayak is a name of tribes that identifies the various
indigenous peoples on the island of Borneo by the
Indonesian part known as Kalimantan. They are divided into
about 450 ethno-linguistic groups. Despite some
differences, these group share physical features,
architecture, language, an oral tradition, customs, social
structure, weapons, agricultural technology and a similar
outlook on life.
The original Dayak identity their cultural, economic,
religious and political life has been preserved through their
oral tradition. Experts agree that there are many basic
affinitives in the legends of the various Dayak groups.
Sadly, though, all the original elements of Dayak life as
described in the legends have suffered significantly from
external elements.

3. religion of Dayaks
The Dayak indigenous religion is
kaharingan, a form of animism which ,
for offical purposes , is categorized
as a form of Hinduism In indonesia.
The practice of kaharingan differs
from group to group
For example in some religious
customary pratices, whenn a noble
(kamang) dies , it is belived that the
spirit ascends to a mountain were the
spirits of past ancestors of the tribe
resides
Over the last two centuries ,some
dayaks converted to islams,
abandoning certain rights and
practices. And christanity was
introduced by european missionaries.

4. society of Dayaks
Kinship in dayak society is traced in both
lines. Although, in dayak society, men and
women possess equal rights in status and
property ownership.
The most important salient features of
dayak social organisation is the practice of
longhouse domicile.
Headhunting is an important part of Dayak
culture.

5. lifestyle
Before the 1950s, the Dayak peoples lived in communal longhouses. Today,
longhouses are rare in Kalimantan. Their disappearance in turn affects the
process of preserving the social, economic, cultural, and political values of the
Dayak. Before, children were taught the basics, including the legends. Before
going to bed, youngsters relaxed in the open area to listen to their parents tell
stories. The change from living in longhouses to single-family houses makes it
impossible for the Dayak to continue the story telling tradition. There is simply
not enough space in a single-family house for it.
The coming of radio and television has promoted a consumptive culture. This
is the era of new colonialism by capitalism. Dayak youngsters migrate to
Indonesian cities in great numbers, either to pursue their studies or make a
living. They are enthralled with the glamour and lifestyle of urban
Indonesians. Some drop out of school, lacking skills and knowledge, to pursue
this lifestyle. This is the short cut attitude. In Pontianak, for example, dozens
of Dayak girls, end up working the bars, karaoke joints and hotels.

6. culture anD festivals
The dayak were traditionally
animist, although the majority are
now Christian, some of them are
Muslims and many continue to
observe both Christian and
traditional ceremonies, particularly
during marriages or festival.
Significant festivals include the rice
harvesting festivals Gawai Dayak,
the Gawai Dayak festival is
celebrated every year on 1st of June,
at the end of the harvest season.
For the majority of the Dayak who
are Christians, some christian
festivals such as Christmas, Good
Friday, Easter and other Christian
festivals are also celebrated.
The Dayak perform a unique dance
called the Ngajat. It is used to
entertain the people who in the
olden days enjoy graceful Ngajats
