Kemarin sepanjang jalan masih sunyi, karena banyak warga tionghoa merayakan tahun barunya dan hari ini sepertinya semuanya sudah kembali normal.Apalagi cuaca tidak terlihat gelap lagi, nampaknya hujan tidak akan turun seperti kemarin.

Perlahan aku melewati banyak toko-toko mulai membuka pintunya, suasana merah masih sangat terasa dan semakin kontras dengan banyaknya bendera partai serta gambar-gambar dari calon anggota dewan yang nampak mulai tersusun rapi.aku harap mereka semua bisa menjalankan amanah rakyat jika nanti terpilih...
 

kini,aku melihat kota pontianak sudah hidup lagi, maklumlah yang jadi pedagang di Kota Pontianak kebanyakan adalah orang tionghoa.

Di Kota Pontianak, rencananya akan diadakan arakan naga dengan jalur Jalan Agus salim-Jalan Gajah Mada-Jalan Pahlawan-Jalan Tanjung Pura dan kembali ke Jalan Agus Salim.

Semula arakan naga ini ditentang oleh beberapa kelompok element masyarakat, akan tetapi sepertinya akan tetap berlangsung karena Pemkot dan Kapolda Kalbar mendukung akan dilaksanakan.

President Soekarno money image

Weird, but real, this is the proof. I have a banknote with the image the President of the Republic of Indonesia Ir. Soekarno and the next picture is 8 girls who are dancing. Money is issued 1964. Weird that I mean is.
1. If the money is placed in the hands, the money will slowly curve to the top.

2. Then if the curve is in place the money on the glass of water, the money will slowly back straight.

The money according to my friend will be sold at Rp. 650,000,000 .- (seven hundred fifty million rupiah). I think I was kidding, but he showed the face of such serious. "You do not believe so?. The money that my friend will be sold Rp. 650,000,000 .- (seven hundred fifty million rupiah). I think I was kidding, but he faces a serious show like that. "You do not believe so?. This money will never be purchased .- Rp.150.000.000, but I do not give, as the expensive price. "
I think if there are people who are willing to pay the price of paper is expensive? There are interested? Contact me only ...

Uang bergambar Presiden Soekarno

Aneh tapi nyata, inilah buktinya. Teman saya memiliki uang kertas dengan gambar Presiden Republik Indonesia Ir. Soekarno dan gambar sebelahnya adalah 8 putri yang sedang menari. Uang tersebut terbit tahun 1964. Aneh yang saya maksudkan tersebut adalah.
1. Jika uang tersebut diletakkan di telapak tangan, uang tersebut perlahan-lahan akan melengkung ke atas.
2. Kemudian jika lengkungan uang tersebut di letakkan di atas segelas air , uang tersebut perlahan-lahan akan lurus kembali.
Uang tersebut menurut teman saya tersebut akan dijualnya seharga Rp. 650.000.000.- (tujuh ratus lima puluh juta rupiah). Saya fikir teman saya tersebut bercanda, tapi dia menunjukkan wajah yang demikian serius. “ Kamu tidak percaya ya?. Uang ini pernah ditawar Rp.150.000.000 .-, tapi tidak saya berikan, karena harganya memang mahal”.
Saya berfikir apakah ada orang yang bersedia membayar uang kertas tersebut dengan harga mahal? Ada yang berminat?

Bagaimana memaknai Persahabatan

Apa yang disampaikan oleh Khalil Kibran (1833   -1911   ) tentang makna sebuah persahabatan akan begitu terasa  mendalam :

“ dan seorang pemuda berkata, katakan kepadaku tentang arti persahabatan, kemudian seseorang menjawab : “Temanmu adalah jawaban kebutuhanmu., Dia adalah ladang yang kau semai dengan cinta dan dipanen dengan rasa syukur.

Dan dia adalah makananmu dan bangku perapianmu, karena kamu datang kepadanya dan kelaparanmu, dan k au mencarinya demi kedamaian”

Untuk itu kita  harus bersyukur jika bisa memiliki sahabat sejati, karena sahabat sejati adalah harta paling berharga, karena bersama sahabat kita bisa menjadi diri sendiri,tanpa harus berpura-pura agar terlihat baik. Sahabat adalah seseorang yang bisa menerima kita apa adanya. Sahabat mampu membuat kita bahagia dengan diri kita sendiri dan memberi motivasi hidup serta akan selalu menfampingi kita ketika semua orang menjauh, sahabat akan selalu ada di saat kita mengalami kesusahan.

Walau terkadang sebuah persahabatan tidak selalu mulus, suatu saat akan muncul rintangan yang menguji rasa persahabatan, muncul perbedaan pendapat, selisih paham.

Memang sebuah hubungan apapun namanya termasuk sebuah persahabatan, akan selalu mengalami ujian,  akan tetapi  jangan pernah menyerah atas segala ujian itu, mulailah bertanya pada diri kita sendiri, apakah sahabat itu memiliki manfaat untuk kita dan apakah kita juga memiliki manfaan bagi sahabat kita? Hal tersebut penting kita renungkan, karena pada dasarnya manusia adalah makhluk social, itu artinya satu dengan yang lain saling membutuhkan.

Untuk membangun suatu persahabatan yang baik, yang harus selalu kita perhatikan adalah selalu bersikap tulus tanpa pamrih, jujur, karena setiap hubungan yang dibangun dengan rasa pamrih dan kepalsuan akan menyakiti termasuk diri kita sendiri, jadi segala sesuatunya harus dilakukan dengan ikhlas tanpa disertai rasa terpaksa.

Hubungan [ersahabatan akan terasa semakin mendalam dan terasa lebih bermakna jika kita dan sahabat kita selalu meluangkan waktu untuk saling bertemu atau kalau jarak jauh harus ada waktu untuk menelpon, atau saling berkirim sms dan email, walau hanya sekedar menanyakan  hal-hal sepele, atau arti sononya keep contactlah.

Jika ternyata kita bisa saling berbagi, maka alangkah indahnya hidup kita, karena kita telah berhasil memaknai hidup kita dengan suatu yang berharga yaitu ‘Persahabatan”.

Tadi Pagi.........

Pagi tadi sekitar pukul 09.00 wiba aku berangkat ke kantor, kesiangan memang, tapi sebelumnya aku sudah ijin via telpon.

Pagi tadi ketika aku melewati jalan merdeka sebelum rumah sakit Antonius, air dari parit meluap ke jalan raya, perlahan…, jadwal rutin kataku dalam hati.

Pagi tadi aku pelankan kendaraanku ketika ada seorang ibu-ibu berjalan di pinggir jalan, ujung celana panjang yang dipakainya sudah basah akibat banjir, tapi dengan santai sang ibu terus melangkah.

Pagi tadi di tempat yang sama seorang bapak turun dari motornya, pasti mesin motornya kemasukan air pikirku, kasihan…

Pagi tadi ketika berbelok ke halaman kantor, air sudah memenuhi halaman. Kugulung celana panjangku sampai lutut, aku lepaskan sepatuku untuk ku jinjing dan dingin sangat terasa ketika kakiku menyentuh air.

Pagi tadi aku berfikir, akankah pagi-pagiku akan seterusnya seperti itu?. Banjir…..

alangkah senangnya seandainya blog saya dapat dilihat semua orang sperti blog anda ini, tapi saya harus optimiskan? dan terima kasih atas tulisan anda,

Tenun Tradisional Suku Dayak

Kepandaian menenun kain dengan tehnik ikat lungsi seperti yang terdapat pada masyarakat suku iban di Kapuas Hulu dan suku desa di Kabupaten Sintang, diperkirakan telah dikenal sejak jaman prasejarah

            Pengetahuan bertenun ini kemungkinan berasal dari para imigran pengembara yang dating ke Indonesia dari daratan Asia Tenggara pada masa tersebut, yaitu berupa penggunaan alat tenun yang memakai kayu dipinggang dengan ragam hias kebudayaan Dong Son yang berbentuk geometris, pohon hayat dan manusia, seperti pola hias yang terdapat pada nekara-nekara jaman perunggu.

            Selain ragam hias Don son tersebut, terlihat pula adanya penerapan pola hias asimetris berbentuk binatang dan manusia.

            Dari setiap kain tenun yang dihasilkan oleh orang dayak ini, nilai estetis yang tampil tetap disertai dengan nilai simbolik yang berhubungan dengan adapt dan mithologi, baik dalam berbagai bentuk pola hias maupun tata warna yang memberikan gambaran tentang lingkungan kehidupan mereka dan konsep kepercayaan yang mempedomani struktur relegiusnya.

            Dalam perilaku social masyarakatnya, kain tenun ikat ini tidak hanya sebagai pakaian semata ataupun penghias penampilan tetapi lebih berfungsi sebagai sesuatu yang melambangkan kelembagaan adat, makanya penggunaan kain tenun sebagai pakaian hanya khusus diperuntukkan sewaktu dilakukannya upacara-upacara adat atau upacara-upacara lainnya yang bersifat ritual religius.

            Dalam perkembangan selanjunta yang berkaitan pula dengan berkembangnya perikehidupan masyarakat Suku Dayak saat sekarang ini, dimana kesibukan dalam menyerap sector pengetahuan formal dan kesibukan dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan ekonomis yang semakin meningkat dan terbatas, menyebabkan pula kebiasaan menenun kain ini cenderung semakin ditinggalkan, yang berarti pula semakin langkanya ditemui penenun-penenun tradisional seperti masa lalu.

Rumah Panjang

Apabila ada anggota keluarga yang kawin dan membentuk keluarga baru, mereka lalu membuat bilik lain yang menyambung pada bilik yang paling ujung dan demikian seterusnya, sehingga ada rumah panjang yang berukuran 300 sampai dengan 400 meter yang didiami oleh 60 sampai dengan 70 keluarga.

Tangga untuk turun naik para penghuninya berbentuk tangga tunggal, tetapi ada juga bangunan rumah panjang yang mempunyai 2 atau 3 buah tangga. Pada malam hari tangga-tangga ini akan dinaikkan ke atas, untuk menghindarkan penghuninya dari serangan musuh atau binatang buas.

Pada bagian atas kepala tangga biasanya diukir berbentuk kepala manusia, kepala naga atau jenis hewan lainnya yang dianggap keramat menurut kepercayaan mereka, ukiran pada kepala tangga ini dimaknai sebagai roh nenek moyang yang akan melindungi mereka dari segala mara bahaya.

Pada saat sekaran ini rumah panjang yang masih utuh berdiri dan masih didiami hanya tinggal beberapa buah saja, yang tersisa diantaranya adalah seperti yang terdapat di Desa Saham Pahauman Kabupaten Pontianak, di desa Kopar Kabupaten Sanggau dan di Desa Melapi Kabupaten Kapuas Hulu.

Cautious welcome for peace plan from both Israelis and Hamas

Ian Black, Middle East editor Israel and Hamas yesterday both "welcomed" - but neither accepted - an Egyptian-French plan to end the fighting in the Gaza Strip.

For the first time the US urged Israel to say yes to the ceasefire call, with Condoleezza Rice, the secretary of state, pressing the Israeli foreign minister, Tzipi Livni, by telephone as the UN security council debated action to end the 12-day crisis.

A strongly worded UN statement, brokered by Britain, France and the US, was expected to be agreed last night after the council failed to make enough progress to agree a resolution. David Miliband, the foreign secretary, said in New York that he had seen "the first glimmerings of the possibility of a ceasefire", adding: "It's far too early to say we can get a breakthrough."

Still, closer US attention seemed to boost the chances of progress. "Our goal must be the stabilisation and normalisation of life in Gaza," said Rice. But any ceasefire "has to be a solution that does not allow the rearmament of Hamas".

Barack Obama, the president-elect, broke his silence on the Gaza fighting to pledge that he would "engage immediately" with the Middle East when he takes office on 20 January.

Cautious optimism about the prospects for a peace deal was dented earlier when Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, was forced to retract an earlier claim that Israel and the Palestinians were both ready to sign up to the initiative. Israeli officials said Egypt's president, Hosni Mubarak, was seeking an initial 48-hour ceasefire, during which the finishing touches would be put to the plan. Israel said it accepted the "principles" of the plan but opposed a preliminary truce and wanted all the details of an agreement completed first.

Khaled Meshaal, the Islamist movement's Damascus-based political leader, told a Russian envoy that Hamas rejected "capitulatory" conditions. Ahmed Yusuf, a Hamas spokesman in Gaza, said in an article for the Guardian's Comment is Free website: "Hamas welcomes the Egyptian-French initiative. We recognise that it contains many positive elements but also elements that need more careful consideration." Osama Hamdan, its representative in Lebanon, said the movement would not accept any initiative that did not include the withdrawal of the Israeli army from Gaza and the opening of all border crossings. "Any proposal that does not include these points is unacceptable and no one should bother by presenting such proposals," he told al-Jazeera TV.

For the moment the only Israeli concession has been to allow the delivery of aid for Palestinians - beginning yesterday with a three-hour halt to bombing. Fighting resumed soon afterwards.

Agreeing humanitarian access and a truce is the first stage. But the second and far more complex element of any deal will be agreement to police Gaza's southern border to prevent Hamas smuggling in weapons once the fighting is over. The Egyptian-French text makes no reference to this issue. But a senior Israeli defence ministry official is to attend security talks in Cairo today.

Diplomats following the negotiating process warned last night that the first part cannot work without the second for any length of time because a truce and humanitarian access do not address any of the fundamental concerns that led Israel to launch its Operation Cast Lead offensive on 27 December. Israel insists the key to ending the crisis is permanent measures to monitor and destroy tunnels under the Egypt-Gaza border.

Elements of the Egyptian-French plan, and continuing discussions at the UN in New York, include an international presence on the Egyptian side of the border, the so-called "Philadelphi corridor". This "specialised force" may comprise US combat engineers (which Israel would favour) as well as Turkish troops (popular with Arab and Muslim opinion). The EU has also pledged technical and perhaps financial assistance.

Various sources have reported that there would also be a naval presence to patrol the Gaza shoreline, perhaps commanded by the French. A small naval force was part of the arrangements for a ceasefire in Lebanon at the end of the 2006 conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

Western officials say any border security arrangement would require US technical aid to Egypt as well as changes to the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty of 1979 to change military dispositions in Sinai. All of this will require substantial negotiations.

Crucially, missing from the plan so far is an agreed mechanism for Israel to lift the Gaza blockade, Hamas's principal demand, though it does mention reopening border crossings. Diplomats said there was hard bargaining over whether the UN presidential statement should use the phrase "full and permanent" with respect to the crossings.

Underlining the difficulties ahead, Israel's security cabinet said it did not accept Mubarak's statement that Egypt would open a dialogue with Hamas and that all crossing points would be opened as part of a peace deal.

Deep divisions over the Gaza fighting were displayed at the UN, where Iranian delegate Ali Habib read a statement accusing Israel of "war crimes, aggression, occupation and state terrorism [and] some of the most heinous examples of crimes against humanity".

On Tuesday the Israeli ambassador to the UN, Gabriela Shalev, called Iran a "coward's coward" that funds Hamas and uses it to fight a proxy war with Israel. The Iranian statement dismissed the Israeli accusations as "despicable".

سقوط TRAGEDI لفلسطين

. أي شخص يشعر استبعد ذلك نشهد مثل هذه الجرائم الوحشية من سلطات الدولة التي تعتبر نفسها فوق الآخرين.
. هذا العدد الكبير من الأطفال الذين توفوا بسبب سوء المعاملة من اسرائيل ، كم من الأمهات الذين فقدوا كل البكاء لأن ابنها.. السبب في هذه المأساة ينبغي أن يحدث ، مثل لماذا اسرائيل هي دائما متعطش للدماء مصاص دماء الفلسطينيين.
. هي ليست كافية للأراضي الرطبة قد الدم الفلسطيني من قبل ، سواء على الانتظار حتى كل الشعب الفلسطيني القتلى عمل جديدة لا إنسانية توقفت اسرائيل.

يا قادة العالم ، لماذا كل ذلك ، لماذا فقط عن قلقه لكنه لا يشارك في القدمين أقل بقليل من اسرائيل ، سواء كنت في الواقع نتفق مع ذبح اسرائيل؟ هل يجرؤ على أن تعمل إسرائيل على الفلسطينيين ، لماذا لا يتم فقط من مهاجمة اسرائيل من جميع أنحاء العالم حتى أدرك كيف يبدو حال دون توقف.

. حتى الآن ، كانت إسرائيل تقول إن بلادهم الحضاري والذي هو ، وأعتقد أن النبي عيسى كما ستشهد هذه المأساة التي هي أدلى بها الأشخاص الذين يدعون الناس.

fall TRAGEDI TO PALESTINA

Anyone who will feel left out so witness such barbaric crimes of the State authorities who consider themselves above other people.
So many children who died due to maltreatment of Israel, how many mothers who have lost all crying because her son. Why this tragedy should occur, such as why Israel is always thirsty vampire blood of the Palestinians.
Is it not enough land has been wet by Palestinian blood, whether to wait until all the Palestinian people dead new action does not humane Israel stopped.

O world leaders, why do you all still, why do you only voiced concern but does not participate slightly below the feet of Israel, whether you actually agree with the slaughter of Israel? Should you dare to act as Israel to the Palestinians, why do not you just attack Israel from all over the world so that he realized how it seems if without stopping.

So far, Israel has been saying that their country is civilized and who is, I think the Prophet Jesus will also see the tragedy which it is made by people who claim to people.

CURAHAN HATI ATAS TRAGEDI PALESTINA

Menurutku siapapun orangnya akan begitu tersentuh rasa kemanusiaannya menyaksikan kejahatan yang demikian kejam dari Negara yang memandang dirinya penguasa atas orang lain.

Begitu banyak anak-anak yang mati akibat kekejaman Israel, berapa banyak ibu-ibu yang harus menangis karena kehilangan semua anaknya. Mengapa tragedy ini harus terjadi, mengapa Israel seperti vampire yang selalu haus darah orang-orang Palestina.

Apakah tidak cukup tanah Palestina telah basah oleh darah, apakah menunggu sampai seluruh rakyat Palestina mati baru tindakan tidak manusiawi Israel dihentikan.

Wahai para pemimpin dunia, mengapa kalian semua diam, mengapa kalian hanya bersuara turut prihatin tapi tidak berkutik di bawah kaki Israel, apakah kalian sebenarnya setuju dengan pembantaian yang dilakukan Israel? Seharusnya kalian berani bertindak seperti yang dilakukan Israel kepada Palestina,kenapa kalian tidak serang saja Israel dari seluruh penjuru dunia sehingga dia sadar bagaimana rasanya jika ditembaki tampa henti.

Selama ini Israel telah menyerukan bahwa mereka adalah Negara yang beradab dan beragama, menurut saya Nabi Isa Almasih juga akan menangis melihat tragedy yang dibuat oleh orang-orang yang mengaku umatnya.

Sensasi Hulu Sungai Kapuas

 post from Arsip Ptk.Post
Catatan Perjalanan : Bearing.

Sungai Kapuas,-  Tiga Negara yang berada di Pulau Kalimantan (Brunai, Malaysia dan Indonesia) bersepakat tetap menjaga kelestarian hutan guna menjaga kelangsungan kehidupan anak cucu, kesepakatan tersebut diberi nama Heart Of Borneo (HoB).

Taman Nasional Danau Sentarum (TNDS) merupakan salah satu kawasan konservasi yang terdapat di Provinsi Kalimantan Barat yang terletak di hulu sungai kapuas (± 700 km dari muara Sungai Kapuas/Pontianak), segala sesuatu yang ada di dalamnya dimasukan dalam aset HoB.

SECARA geografis kawasan TNDS terletak di antara 00°45' - 01°02' LU dan 111°55' - 112°26' BT atau berjarak sekitar 100 km di sebelah Utara garis Equator. Secara administrasi kawasan ini masuk wilayah Kabupaten Dati II Kapuas Hulu dan termasuk dalam 7 (tujuh) kecamatan, yaitu Kecamatan Batang Lupar mencakup sisi sebelah Utara kawasan, Kecamatan Badau mencakup sisi sebelah Barat kawasan, Kecamatan Embau dan Kecamatan Bunut Hilir mencakup sisi sebelah Timur Kawasan, Kecamatan Suhaid, Selimbau, dan Semitau mencakup sisi sebelah Selatan kawasan.

Kawasan Danau Sentarum cukup kaya akan jenis tetumbuhan, dari hasil pengamatan yang dilakukan di hutan rawa tergenang, hutan rawa gambut, hutan pinggiran sungai (riparian), hutan kerangas dan hutan dataran rendah selama lebih kurang empat tahun diketahui bahwa jenis tumbuhan yang hidup dalam kawasan Danau Sentarum ini berjumlah 675 jenis (species) yang tergolong dalam 97 suku (familia), besar kemungkinan akan bertambah karena jenis tumbuhan bawah dan jenis pohon yang berada di hutan dataran rendah perbukitan masih sedikit yang terdata serta jenis angrek-angrekan dan jenis-jenis parasit belum terdata sama sekali.

Jenis tumbuhan yang terdapat di Danau Sentarum ini sangat spesifik dimana hampir sebagian besar jenis tumbuhannya mempunyai penampakan yang berbeda dengan tumbuhan yang berada di luar Danau Sentarum. Misalnya saja jenis Dichilanthe borneensis salah satu tumbuhan khas (endemik) dan langka yang ditemukan oleh Beccari, jenis ini merupakan Mising Link antara Rubiaceae dan Famili-familinya. Selain itu di sini juga ditemukan satu jenis dari Marga Vatica yaitu Vatica menungau (Menungau) yang merupakan species baru (new species) yang endemik atau hanya dapat ditemukan di kawasan Danau Sentarum ini.

Kekhasan tumbuhan yang terdapat di kawasan Danau Sentarum ini diperkirakan akan menjadi penambah perbendaharaan marga tumbuhan endemik kalimantan yang jumlah sebelumnya ada 59 marga, karena menurut Giesen. (1987), dari hasil pengumpulan specimen tumbuhan yang telah dilakukannya, banyak jenis yang tidak dapat diidentifikasi dengan menggunakan referensi Taxonomi terbaru dan kemungkinan merupakan ilmu baru.

Selain kekhasan dalam bentuk dan jenis, di kawasan ini juga ditemukan Eugeissona ambigua (Ransa) yang merupakan tumbuhan langka dan diperkirakan menjelang kepunahan serta beberapa jenis lainnya yang merupakan jenis dilindungi yaitu seperti Ramin (Gonystylus bancanus) dan Jelutung (Dyera costulata). Yang paling mengagumkan pada jenis tumbuhan ini yaitu terdapatnya jenis tumbuhan yang sama dengan tumbuhan endemik yang ada di Amazon, oleh masyarakat setempat tumbuhan tersebut dikenal dengan sebutan pohon Pungguk (Crateva relegiosa).

Perbedaan yang kontras pada musim yang berbeda (pasang dan kering) adalah merupakan kondisi yang turut mempengaruhi kekayaan tumbuh-tumbuhan dan satwa di Taman Nasional Danau Sentarum. Khususnya keragaman jenis ikan air tawar yang tinggal, berkembang biak dan mencari makan di kawasan ini, mulai dari ukuran yang paling kecil sekitar 1 cm yaitu ikan Linut (Sundasalax cf. Microps) sampai yang paling besar seperti ikan Tapah (Wallago leeri) dapat mencapai ukuran lebih dari 200 cm; dari yang tidak bernilai ekonomi sampai pada ikan hias yang mempunyai nilai jutaan rupiah seperti ikan Siluk Merah (Scleropages formosus).

origin of the word dayak

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.
