Telos and 2 other obscure island groups to the north. North Sumatra
receives similar swell to Mentawais and enjoys its peak swell season
from May to September. Despite Indonesia's reputation for hollow
lefts, in North Sumatra right-handers are slightly more prevalent. While Lagundri Bay at Nias
has been surfed for decades, it is the more obscure rights like Bawa (a Sunset -like right bowl
that holds up to 15 feet) and Treasure Island (a long, hollow, mechanical right peeling for
200 meters) that have attracted the attention of late. Throw a mix of hollow and bowl
lefthanders into the picture like Asu, Afulu, the Machine, and many more obscure rights and
lefts.
In contrast to the small island of Bali, North Sumatra province is large
with one of the biggest lakes in the world, Toba Lake, at its navel. The
continuous mountain of Bukit Barisan, which extends from Aceh at the
tip of Sumatra island to Lampung at the bottom of the island, guards the
province on the west side, providing home for thick, tropical jungles and
lush vegetations. As you go down the western mountains towards the beaches of the east,
mountain streams, strong rivers, and gorgeous waterfalls will
accompany you.

peaks of numerous volcanoes. The land has thick virgin forests, lush
vegetation, rice fields, mountain streams, rivers, waterfalls and sandy
beaches. It has a rich flora and fauna. An abundance of birds,
butterflies, buffaloes, deer, mouse deer, orangutans and many other export commodities
make North Sumatra one of the richest provinces in Indonesia, as it produces more than 30
% of Indonesia's exports. The province offers the v isitors, especially nature lovers, beautifultropical panoramas, terraced rice fields, blue mountains, jungle covered
hills, white sandy beaches, music, dance and folk arts.

ago. From this place, Sultan Banten's troopers took fight against the pirates and take defensefrom the Dutch.
Along with the prevailing regional government changing, in respect to
the insistence of Banten People's aspiration to demand the separation
from West Java Province, and after long process based on Law Number
23 Year 2000 concerning on Formation of Banten Province dated 17thOctober, 2000, established Banten Province as the 30th Province.

sub districts and 1,339 Villages. Geographically, the location of Banten Province is strategic
because of the link between Java Island and Sumatra Island as well as the capital of Republic

by the availability of variety natural resources in great amount. Industry sector contribute
more than 52 % from total of Banten's GRDP, because in Banten there are 17 Industrial
Zones equipped by good facilities and managed by professional private
companies.
Banten is one of the newest provinces in Indonesia and also one of the
richest. The province combines many of the most important Industrial
Zones in Indonesia and also has the extended recreation areas along the
western coast of Java and in south the Ujung Kulon National Park and the
mountainous areas that are home to the Baduy people. Banten has the
easiest access to Jakarta being merely an enclave in this province.
This province uses its own unique culture and language, both called
Sundanese that is also used to call its people. The ancient kingdoms of
Banten are Tarumanegara, Pajajaran, Banten and Cirebon would makeinteresting studies for the student of archaeology. Cirebon is located on the border between
West and Central Java, having a mixed culture originating from the ancient Cirebon andBanten kingdoms, resulting in similar customs and dialects of the two people, although
Banten city is located at the extreme western part of the province. Banten city on Banten Baywas one of the first places to begin trade with the Dutch. There is little to see of the past
glories of this area today with the exception of the Grand Mosque, which was completed in1599 and is certainly worth a visit.
The Province has a great number of attractions, from the wildlife reserve
of Ujung Kulon on the southwestern tip of Java and the isolated
communities of the mysterious Baduy to the unspoiled beaches. The
villages are busy and attractive and the pace of life gets slower as wemove towards the National Park in the southwest. From any point along
the western coast we can see the "son of Krakatau" volcano, which rises impressively from
the sea. Banten offers many different recreational experiences. The trip to Anyer area from
Jakarta is now quick and easy because of the toll road, which connects Merak port with
Jakarta. As we move further south along the west Java coast the lifestyle becomes more
relaxed and after Labuan we move into more rural areas where the road conditions worsen
and the lifstyle is relaxed. Here access to the forest areas begins and we can move back in
time and enjoy the peace of nature. There is a bus each day from Labuan to Taman Jaya,

coast of Java, was one of the Asia's largest cosmopolitan trading harbors in
the 16th and 17th century. Ships visited its port from Malacca, China,
Vietnam, India, Arab, Portugal and Netherlands. At its peek, it was almost
as important as Amsterdam. Nowadays Banten is only a small fishingvillage. There are still old buildings left which are worth a visit for someone who is interested
in the history of Indonesia before and during the colonial times.
JAKARTA
Jakarta is the capital city of the Republic of Indonesia, a country composed of more than

Jakarta is one of Indonesia's designated tourist areas. It is a gateway to other touristdestinations in Indonesia and is equipped with all the means of modern transportation by air,
sea, rail, or by land. It has the largest and most modern airport in the country, the mostimportant harbor in Indonesia and is well connected by rail of good roads to other
destinations in Java, Sumatra, and Bali. As Indonesia's main gateway, Soekarno-Hatta
International Airport serves a growing number of international airlines and domestic flights.
Jakarta is a city of contrasts; the traditional and the modern, the rich and the poor, the sacraland the worldly, often stand side by side in this bustling metropolis. Even its population
gathered from all those diverse ethnic and cultural groups, which compose Indonesia, are
constantly juxtaposed present reminder of the national motto; Unity in Diversity.
Finding its origin in the small early 16th century harbor town of Sunda Kelapa, Jakarta's
founding is thought to have taken place on June 22, 1527, when it was re -named Jayakarta,
meaning Glorious Victory by the conquering Prince Fatahillah from neighboring Cirebon.
The Dutch East Indies Company, which captured the town and destroyed it in 1619, changed
its name into Batavia and made it the center for the expansion of their power in the East
Indies. Shortly after the outbreak of World War II, Batavia fell into the hands of the invadingJapanese forces that changed the name of the city into 'Jakarta' as a gesture aimed at winning
the sympathy of the Indonesians. The name was retained after Indonesia achieved nationalindependence after the war's end.
The ethnic of Jakarta called "Orang Betawi" speaks Betawi Malay, spoken as well in thesurrounding towns such as Bekasi and Tangerang. Their language, Betawi Malay, has two
variations: conventional Betawi Malay, spoken by elder people and bred in Jakarta, andmodern Jakarta Malay, a slang form spoken by the younger generation and migrants.
Jakarta's architecture reflects to a large extent the influx of outside influences, which came
and has remained in this vital seaport city. Taman Fatahillah Restoration Project, begun in the
early 1970s has restored one of the oldest sections of Jakarta also known as Old Batavia to
approximately its original state. The Old Portuguese Church and warehouse have been
rehabilitated into living museums. The old Supreme Court building is now a museum of fine
arts, which also houses part of the excellent Chinese porcelain collection of former Vice
President Adam Malik. The old Town Hall has become the Jakarta Museum, displaying such
rare items as Indonesia's old historical documents and Dutch period furniture. Its tower clock
was once returned to England to be repaired under its lifetime guarantee, which up to now
has already lasted hundreds of years.
In recent years, Jakarta has expanded its facilities for visitors with luxury hotels, fine
restaurants, exciting nightlife and modern shopping centers. It contains many tourist
attractions such as Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (Beautiful "Indonesia in Miniature" Park),
restored colonial period buildings, island resorts in the Pula Seribu (Thousand Island), and an
extensive beach recreation complex called Ancol. "Beautiful Indonesia in Miniature Park"
popularly called TMII "Taman Mini Indonesia Indah", built to portray the variety of culturesfound within the many islands contained in the Republic of Indonesia, this open-air museum
comprises the many architectural forms of arts and traditions of all Indonesia provinces. It is
proof of the country's motto of Unity in Diversity as well as Freedom of Religion depicted in
the houses of worship built on the grounds.
Jakarta has preserved its past and is developing for the future. Skyscrapers in the center of the
city are part of a new look. Modern luxury hotels today cater to the discriminating visitors.
Transport within the city is plentiful. Jakarta is the center of the nation's industrial, political

and cultural life. It is home to many of the country's finest research institutes, educationalfacilities, and cultural organizations. Jakarta is uniquely the seat of both the national as well
as the regional government.
Over the last several decades, Jakarta has proudly developed into one of Asia's most
prominent metropolitan centers. Today, Jakarta's skyline is covered by modern high rises.
The many state-of-the-art shopping centers, recreation complexes and toll-roads have becomehallmarks of the city. The quality of life and the general welfare of its inhabitants have
improved considerably with the city's fast pace of development. Jakarta's cultural richness
and dynamic growth contribute significantly to its growing importance as one of the world's
leading capital cities
Geographically
The Province is geographically located on 6012' South Latitude and 106048'- East Longitude.
The government administration is set into 5 regions South Jakarta, Central Jakarta, East
Jakarta, West Jakarta, North Jakarta and 1 regency/ administrative city, namely Thousand
Island regency. The largest city is East Jakarta (187.73 sq km) and the smallest is Thousand
Island regency (11.81 sq km). The average rainfall is 1,916.8- 924.50 mm/year. The

People
Indonesians are known as friendliest people in the world towards foreigners and most tolerant
towards their manners. But there are few things, which are not done among Indonesia. They
consider the head as something sacred that must be respected. Patting on the head is not done
among adults. Calling someone by crooking the index finger is considered impolite and
giving or receiving things with the left hand is no - where acceptable. The handshake
accompanied with a smile is common among men and women greeting or welcoming
somebody.
Not less 9 million people live in Jakarta representing nearly all the ethnic groups in thearchipelago. The major groups are Sundanese, Javanese, Chinese, and the native community
is Orang Betawi (people of Betawi). The other large groups are the Minangkabau people, theBataks, the Manadonase, and the other people from Sulawesi and the Ambonase. Orang
Betawi emerged in the 19th century from a melting pot of races, ethnic groups and cultures.They have their own culture distinct from other ethnics' cultures. In 1923 they founded an
organization called Kaum Betawi, which was in fact a statement about the existence of theBetawi ethnic group. The majority professes is Islam. But it does not mean that Indonesia is
an Islamic state. It is a Pancasila state. And one of the principles of Pancasila, the state
ideology, is "belief in the one Supreme God". This means that the various belief systems
must be respected and respect each other. This explains the ubiquitous Moslem prayer houses
in the city beside many churches and a few temples.
In Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (Beautiful Indonesia in Miniature Park), the princeDiponegoro Mosque is juxtaposition with the saint Catherine Church, the Hallelujah Church,
the Pura Penataran Agung Kertabumi Temple, the Aria Dwipa Arama Monastery and theIndonesian Mystic Convention Hall, symbolizing the motto: Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Unity In
Diversity) in matters of religions and belief - systems.
BetawiIndonesia's cultural diversity is celebrated in the national motto, Bhineka Tunggal Ika,
-
8/8/2019 Data Setiap Daerah.gemgEM
17/44
meaning "Unity in Diversity." One manifestation of this tenet of Indonesian national identityis the government's efforts to give equal precedence to the development of traditional art
forms from each ethnic group. In Jakarta, Orang Betawi, the natives of the city, areconsidered to be the hosts of these cultures, having emerged from the melting pot of races,
ethnic groups and cultures of Indonesia in the 19th century. Today they constitute one of the
city's main ethnic groups along side the Javanese (from Central and Eastern Java), Sundanese
(from West Java) and Chinese.
CultureTo see for themselves what and now those Betawi art forms are, we can go to any travel
agent and ask for tour to a " Betawi Cultural Institution "to catch a glimpse of the real thing".
Or we can visit the Jakarta pavilion at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (Beautiful Indonesia in
Miniature Park) which has long been showing Betawi ceremonies such as the Betawi
wedding ceremony, the circumcision procession, the baby head - shaving ceremony etc. As
mentioned before, the Betawi group emerged in the 19th century from the melting pot of
races, ethnic groups and cultures. Today the Betawi culture has a distinct personality of its
own, but one can discern the various influences of other cultures by looking or listening to itsart form.
The Tanjidor orchestra is certainly inherited from Dutch land - owners and the Gambang
Kromong and Cokek dance originated in the residence of wealthy Chinese traders andmerchants. The Betawi Cokek dance shows Balinese influence in the movement of the
dancers and the style of playing the gamelan. This style of playing the gamelan can also beobserved in the gamelan orchestra accompanying the Wayang Kulit Betawi show. The
Portuguese speaking community has also left its inheritance, the Kroncong Tugu with itspopular songs Nina Bobo, Kaparinyo and Kroncong moritsko is said to be the origin of the
popular Kroncong orchestra of to day.
The Javanese presence since the 17th century has left its mark too on the Betawi music,
dance and theatre; Wayang Kulit Betawi and Lenong are examples of this influence. A majorinfluence on the Betawi culture is Islam, the religion of the majority of the people. The
Rebana orchestra, the Gambus orchestra, the Zapin or Japin dance are Islam inspired artforms. The Betawi traditional art is developed and accepted well. Not only Betawi people,
but also other ethnic groups are fond of this art. For example, the traditional drama-Lenongand Topeng Blantik (Blantik mask), the traditional dance - Tari Topeng (Mask Dance),
Ondel-ondel, Ronggeng Topeng, etc, the traditional art of music - Sambrah, Rebana,Gambang Kromong, Tanjidor, Puppet - Betawi puppet using the Malay-Betawi dialect
Basically the marriage system used by Betawi people is the Islamic law. To whom they are
allowed or have not allowed to get married with. The young people are also free to choose
their partners. In spite of this, the parents` role either from the man's or woman's side are very
important to approve the marriage, for the parents are involved in holding the marriage party.Before getting marriage the man and the woman are introduced to each other and when they
both have agreement, the man's parents will propose the girl. After the two parties reach an
agreement, they decide the time to hold the dowry delivery ceremony which is usually
represented by another party, such as the relatives of the man's and the woman's sides. The
marriage ceremony is held on the agreed day. After the marriage contract ceremony both the
man and the woman go back to each their parents (their home). A few days later a ceremony
of parents-in-law relationship is held and the bridegroom goes in procession to the bride's
house. Before entering the bride's house, the bridegroom's side holds the question-answer
-
8/8/2019 Data Setiap Daerah.gemgEM
18/44
ceremony by using the traditional poetry rhythm and it is accompanied by tambourine/rabanamusic with the welcome / marhaban songs. Then, the bridegroom is allowed to enter the
house to meet the bride. They sit side by side for a moment. After that the bridegroom joinshis parents and companions who escort him to the bride` house. When the ceremony is
finished the bride may come with his husband to his house.
LanguageThe official language is Bahasa Indonesia and English is the most spoken and understood
foreign language. In convention hotels they have translators for English, France, Dutch,
German, Japanese, Mandarin, and even Spanish. The native Betawi people speak Betawi
Malay, which is different from standard Malay. There are variations in the language
according to region, the Betawi Malay of the centre and that of the periphery. There are also
socio - cultural variations. The older people born and bred in Jakarta speak the traditional
Betawi Malay, while the younger people and migrants speak the modern version of the
language. In the language, various influences from other cultures are apparent, Balinese,
Sundanese, and Javanese influences are there and words derived from Arabic, Dutch, Chinese
and Portuguese are easily recognizable. Betawi Malay is spoken not only in Jakarta, but alsoin parts of Bekasi, Tangerang and Bogor, which belong to the province of West Java.
WEST JAVA
Of the 17,000 islands that make up the archipelago of the Republic of
Indonesia, Java has historically been considered the heartland. Where Java
has led-culturally, economically and politically down through the centuries,
other regions have followed. On Java, still the most densely populated islandof Indonesia, there are five Provinces. West Java is the largest, with the
greatest population, and, some would claim, with the most pride.
West Java Province is located at part of western Java Island. The enchanting ofSunda land stretches from Sunda Strait in the west to the borders of Central Java
in the east. The locals' people know West Java Province as the Land of Sunda.The region is primarily mountainous, with rich green valleys hugging lofty
volcanic peaks, many of which surround the capital of West Java province. The
history of West Java is a story of trade, spices, and the rise and fall of powerful
kingdoms. In the late 1500's the region was ruled from mighty Cirebon, which still survives
as a sultanate today, although a shadow of its former glory. West Java was of the first contact
points in Indonesia for Indian traders and their cultural influences, and it was here that the
Dutch and British first set foot in the archipelago.
This province has its own unique culture and language, both called Sundanese that is also
used to call its people. The ancient kingdoms of Tarumanegara, Pajajaran, Banten and
Cirebon would make interesting studies for the student of archaeology. Cirebon is located on
the border between West and Central Java, having a mixed culture originating from the
ancient Cirebon and Banten kingdoms, resulting in similar customs and dialects of the two
people, although Banten is located at the extreme western part of the province.

The road from Jakarta to Bandung passes through a beautiful panorama
of mountains, paddy fields and small holiday resorts. An expressway
connects the crowded capital city with Bogor and the mountain areas,
and onward to Bandung. It has a number of sea resorts on its western andsouthern coasts, which have modern hotels and are popular during the
weekends. The Sundanese people are soft-spoken. The women of the Bandung region areknown for their beauty. A lighthearted people who have a love for bright colors, their

East Java like the founding of prehistoric animals and the site of the Java man at Trinil,Ngawi or some hidden ruin temples which settled on 7th century AD.
BALI
Bali Island, the perfect holiday destination for all ages offers
something for everyone. Bali offers not just various customs but also
various "adrenalin pump" parks. Many exciting amusements are
available in Bali, with something new opening all the time. The
number of offshore and inland attraction are on the rise becausemany tourists want them. This tropical paradise has a unique blend
of modern tourist facilities combined with wonderful shopping and a rich past and heritage.
After white water rafting that has gained popularity in Bali, comes offshore rafting or ocean
rafting. The more adventurous sort of amusement has now become an alternative sport for
tourists. Meanwhile white water rafting is still a popular activity with trips on Ayung, Telaga
Waja, Unda Rivers, etc. The tourists can refresh their mind by watching beautiful scenery
along the route. Those are not enough, some of the best surfing beaches in the world can befound on the western side of the island whilst conversely the eastern side is a wonderful
haven for families, with beautiful white sand beaches and gentle seas.
Bali is small island, just 140 Km by 80 Km and lies between Java, the
most highly populated and influential of all the islands, and Lombok,one of the quieter and moderately slower paced islands. Like many
islands, Bali has developed a world of its own. It not only captureswhat is special about Indonesia but also has a uniqueness of its own.
Geographically
Bali is volcanically active and extravagantly fertile. Bali has an area of 5620
sq km, measures approximately 140 km by 80 km and is just 8 degrees
south of the equator. Mount Agung known as the 'mother mountain' is
over 3000 meters. South and north of the central mountains are Bali's
fertile agricultural lands. The southern region is a wide, gently sloping area
where most of Bali's abundant rice crop is grown. The south-central area
is the true rice basket of the Island. The northern coastal strip is narrower, rising more rapidly into
the foothills of the central range, but the main export crops, coffee, copra and rice, are grown here.
Cattle are also raised in this area.
ClimateBali has a climate that is tropical all year. The average temperature

hovers around 30 degrees Celsius year-round. There are dry and wet seasons -dry from Aprilto September and wet from October to March- but it can rain at any time of year and even
during the wet season rain is likely to pass quickly. In general May to August are the bestmonths in Bali. At that time of year the climate is likely to be cooler and the rains lightest.
Around the coast, sea breezes temper the heat and as we move inland we also move up so the
altitude works to keep things cool. It can get very cool up in the highlands and a warm
sweater can be a good idea in mountain villages like Kintamani or Bedugul.
Population With 2.5 million people, Bali is a very densely populated island. The
population is almost all Indonesian, with the usual small Chinese
contingent in the big towns, a sprinkling of Indian merchants, plus a
number of more or less permanent visitors amongst the Westerners in
Bali.
CultureEach stage of Balinese life is marked by a series of ceremonies and rituals
known as Manusa Yadnya. They contribute to the rich, varied and active
life the average Balinese leads. There are ceremonies for every stage ofBalinese life but often the last cremation ceremony is the biggest. A
Balinese cremation can be an amazing, spectacular, colorful, noisy andexciting event. In fact it often takes so long to organize a cremation that years have passed
since the death. During that time the body is temporarily buried. Of course an auspicious daymust be chosen for the cremation and since a big cremation can be very expensive business
many less wealthy people may take the opportunity of joining in at a larger cremation andsending their own dead on their way at the same time. Brahmans, however, must be cremated
immediately. Apart from being yet another occasion for Balinese noise and confusion it's a
fine opportunity to observe the incredible energy the Balinese put into creating real works of
art which are totally ephemeral. There are a lot more than a body gets burnt at the cremation.
The body is carried from the burial ground (or from the deceased's home if it's an 'immediate'
cremation) to the cremation ground in a high, multi-tiered tower made of bamboo, paper,
string, tinsel, silk, cloth, mirrors, flowers and anything else bright and colorful we can think
of. The tower is carried on the shoulders of a group of men, the size of the group depending
on the importance of the deceased and hence the size of the tower. The funeral of a former
rajah high priest may require hundreds of men to tote the tower.

WEST NUSA TENGGARA
The Wallace Line, named after 19th century naturalist, AlfredRussell Wallace, marks a point of transition between the flora and
fauna of Western and Eastern Indonesia and acts as the Western
boundary of West Nusa Tenggara, which includes Lombok Island
and Sumbawa. Lombok is noticeably different to its close neighbor,Bali. The northern part of the island is mountainous and lush with
tall trees and shrubs. The South on the other hand is arid and
covered by savannas. Large Asian mammals are absents and replaced instead by large
numbers of marsupials, lizards, cockatoos and parrots. The difference becomes more
pronounced as one moves further east where dry seasons are more prolonged and the land is
dry and bush-like, and so in many areas corn and sago are the staple food, instead of rice. At
first Islam time come to these islands in the 16th century, four Hindu Kingdoms co-existed in
apparent peace what is now called West Nusa Tenggara and is still the religion embraced by
those in the west of Lombok, which are primarily Balinese. Lombok experienced strong
Balinese influences in the past, but has still retained a unique identifies. The indigenouspeople of Lombok, the Sasaks, are predominantly Moslem and have a strong, distinguished
tradition, as do the people of neighboring Sumbawa. Soft white sand, virgin beaches aretypical in Lombok, where the motto is 'You can see Bali in Lombok, but not Lombok in Bali'.

of an enormous chain of mountains and volcanoes, which begins from
the North of Sumatra and stretches east across Java. The province

islands of Flores, Sumba, and Timor. Occupying a unique position at
the junction of Australian and Asian submarine ridges marked by the
Wallace Line, it is one the world's most dynamic and exotic marine environments with nearly
every species of coral and tropical fish represented. The arid landscape of eastern and
southeastern Nusa Tenggara is the result of hot, dry winds blasting in from the Australiancontinent. In fact, in many coastal areas not a drop of rain falls during most of
the year.
Flores is a Portuguese name, which means 'flower' and ideally describes thebeauty to be found here. This long island between Sumbawa and Timor is
crowded with volcanoes and mountains dividing it into several distinctregions with individual languages and traditions. Predominantly Catholic and

royal regalia of the former king in Maumere.

megalithic tombs and traditional thatched and peaked huts raised onstilts. It is here where incredible rituals take place, such as 'Pasola'
where hundreds of horsemen fling spreads at each other in an annualritual. Many traditional ceremonies, all with a component paying
homage to the spirits, take place from July to October including the

buffaloes, horses, and dogs are scarified. Other ceremonies include
'Pajura' or traditional boxing, festivals for the Lunar New Year in
October and November, horse races and ritual dances.

TRIBES
The three big Dayak tribes who inhabit this province are Ngaju, Ot Danum, and Ma'anyan OtSiang. Ngaju, like some other tribes, moves from one region to another. They adhere to the
old Kaharingan religion, which is the form of ancestor worship, mixed with animismelements. They have seen progress. Many of them live in the towns, have enjoyed an
education and they are intelligent.
The Ot Danum live in longhouses, which sometimes have as many as 50 rooms. The uniquelonghouse is called Betang. With approximately 6,000 people, the Ot Danum is the largest
among the three tribes. They are known for their skill in plaiting rattan, palm leaves, and
bamboo. Made by the women, such products are sold in many cities such as Banjarmasin,
Kualakapuas, and Sampit. Like other Dayaks, the men are good hunters, using simple tools.
The art of Central Kalimantan clearly bears the marks of the Kaharingan religion, which is
the traditional belief of the Dayaks in the hinterland of Central Kalimantan. The building
styles are the elements of the Hindus, Chinese, and Hindu-Javanese. Aside from their
aesthetic properties, such products are appreciated for their magic value.
The NgajuThe Ngaju, the most known Barito Bayak, managed the creation of the province of Central
Kalimantan. They speak different dialects of which the Kahayan has become the local dialect.Most Ngaju practice Kaharingan, or are converted to protestantism; only the Bakumpai Ngaju
converted to islam over a century ago.
The branding longhouses of the Dayak are hard to find among the Ngaju. Their place is taken
by communal rooms, in which meeting and rytes are held. The Ngaju belong to the best
artists of Borneo. This reputation is shown in the ceremonial objects for the dead, like the
wooden coffins, tombes, and sailboats and big statues.
