The origin of the Dayak tribe
The origin of the Dayak tribe is thought to be descended from the Mongolid race, Asia. As it is known that 2000 years BC, the continent of Asia is still united with the island of Borneo. The mongolid race, which was driven by war loses, wandered to the South, from the Malay Peninsula, Sarawak, to Borneo. The Mongol race then settled, setting up a village on the banks of the river, breeding, and building its own culture in the land of Borneo.

As time passed, the Malay tribes from Sumatra and the Malayan Peninsula, Bugis, Makassarese and Javanese people who had come for a long time, urged the Mongols to be the origin of the Dayak tribe to step in, Huluan river. They are scattered, spread, and inhabit the interior. Each of them then developed their own cultural customs and became the forerunner of the sub ethnicity of the Dayak tribe in the land of Borneo.

In trace of its history, Dayak tribe actually once established a kingdom named Nansarunai Dayak Kingdom. However, this kingdom did not last long. He was attacked and destroyed by Majapahit kedigdayaan when it was incentive to expand the region.
