Jul 11, 2009 - nuarysun I would like very much to hear some Dayak stories, would you mind telling me some?.

nuarysun Says:

Jul 12, 2009 - I grew up in town society. But whenever I did get a chance to go back Kampung it was fun. Friends from bording school would invite me back to their Kampung on occasions to sleep over. We'd meet up with other mates who had also returned for the weekend and have a good laugh over drinks, guitar passed around playing a few songs each. Their parents would have delicious meals prepared for a guest. Id bring gift like food that they can cook that night and i get to eat it.

nuarysun Says:

Jul 12, 2009 - Often neighbouring Kampung's would have some sort of festival "concert" happening. We'd pack into group and head out to enjoy the gathering. We'd dance alot and drink. They loved dancing. Brawls do tend to happen, but water under bridge or alcohol under bridge. Friends will pull the fight apart. Agik idup agik ngelaban, in other words get over it or get a life

nuarysun Says:

Jul 12, 2009 - Swimming and jumping off waterfalls was great adventure for me. My friends with machetes each of their own. I remember one time we were out looking for big bamboo to bring back to cook chicken meat in it. Suddently the guys started shouting, second after that we were running after a wild boar Babi hutan, Never caught it though. I myself would not have known how they would have pinned it down, just went chasing. After the chase to find the guys had spears and traps fully made During the chase

Jul 12, 2009 - Dayaks are humorous people esspecially the Ibans, my mothers half side. Dayaks are labelled hard working efficient tradesmen around the world from offshore riggers to construction. Many are educated. Were spread around the world in small numbers now, tradition is hard to practise. It Was a small culture advancing and developing into the modern world too fast. You may want to do research into Dayak stories before WWII or during that time for the info I think you are interested in

pisang179 Says:

Sep 23, 2009 - Nice documentary but I would like to suggest someting. Please preserve the tradition and place the human schul in a safe place so future generation could learn from past. Is one way to generate economy for the people too.

jatroup12 Says:

Sep 28, 2009 - This video is informative but I was taken aback. I understand these tribes inherited this culture but the western reporters surprised me at how glib they were touching, commenting & looking over the actual remains of human beings as if they were props for entertainment. I think a more respectful, somber tone is in order when viewing the remains of the dead.

ProudBlood14 Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - X_X As a sword collector it hurt my eyes seeing that lady touch the blade with her fingertips, that's a no-no, you never do that to another person's blade, it will leave fingerprints and might rust it.

ProudBlood14 Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - Yea, they were a bit hands on with those skulls, the dumb lady even dropped it. I commented earlier about how she was man-handling that sword, actually touching the blade with her fingers, not very tasteful.

Nov 21, 2009 - Iban... Dayak... Orang Ulu... representing this group of native peoples. Their ancestors are head hunter but now, they are practicing civilized life and most of them have moved to the big town and city...
