The Headhunter's

All of us, must already heard the word "Dayak". But not everyone knows about it. I choose this theme because I want many people to know about this information and Indonesian people needs to love and respect their own culture.


The first one is Etymology of word "Dayak" :
~According to Lindblad, Dayak word comes from the power of Kenyah language, which means the upstream [river] or inland.
~~As with the King, who argued Dayak may also be derived from the word aja, a Malay word meaning native or indigenous.
~~~In Commans opinion's, Dayak means human.

Dayak comprises more than 200 riverine and hill-dwelling ethnic subgroups.

        Next, about some Dayak culture :
              * Hunting down the head
              * Gawai Dayak
              * Burial traditions
              * Agriculture
