Iban __ A look at the Iban people. ""The Iban are a riverine people.
Their occupation of a new territory is always by way of the rivers. Most
of the Iban live in longhouses near a river inland. The houses are set
up on long poles or stilts.These Longhouses can contain many different
apartments (bilekas) in which individual families reside." - From

The Iban __ "Reputed to be the most fearsome of Borneo's headhunters, it
was not so long ago that the Iban celebrated the captured heads with a
grand festival called Gawai Kenyalang (the Hornbill Festival). It was
believed that the magical power of the heads would bring strength,
virtue and prosperity to the longhouse." They no longer do that. Here
you can find what they are doing now. - illustrated - From
