origin of the word dayak
Dayak word comes from the word power "which means that upstream, to the people who live in rural areas or generally perhuluan Kalimantan and West Kalimantan. There are various opinions about the origin of the Dayak, but this setakat not have a truly satisfactory. However, the general opinion that states that received the Dayak is one of the original group of the oldest and largest inhabited island of Kalimantan (Tjilik Riwut 1993: 231). Ideas about the natives is based on the theory of population migration to Kalimantan. Starting from the opinion held that it is the ancestor of Dayak people came from South China, as stated by Mikhail Coomans (1987: 3):
All tribes, including the power groups who migrated in large-scale land from Asia. Power is the tribe of the descendants of immigrants who come from the region that is now called Yunnan in South China. From the small group that roam through the Indo China to the Malaysian peninsula to enter the vault to become the islands in Indonesia, besides, there may be groups that choose another stepping stone, that is, through Hainan, Taiwan and the Philippines. Movement is not so difficult, because at the time of glazial (period es) above sea level is down (low tide), so that the small boats even if they can cross the waters that separate the islands.
OrangHowever, when people from Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula Land came to Malacca there terdesaklah ago the Dayak people back, grow old, grow to the remote island of Kalimantan land.
This theory of migration can be a problem at once: why Dayak tribes now have so many different nature, whether in the language and characteristics in their culture.
Nowadays Dayak tribe divided into six large clumps, the Kayan-Kenyah-Bahau, OT Danum, Iban, Murut, Punan and Klemantan. Sixth family is divided again to the approximately 405 sub tribes. Despite the hundreds of sub-divided tribes, ethnic groups have a similarity Dayak characteristics unique culture. Characteristics has become a key factor of a sub-tribe in Kalimantan to be included in the Dayak groups. The characteristics of the house is long, the cultural materials such as pottery, saber, chopsticks beliong (ax Dayak) views of nature, the search (system) and the art of dance.
