The Dayak
It's an honour to met the great Dayak's tribe leader and had a chance to took a portrait of him. My greatest regret is he passed away before I have a chance to show him the photo that I took.
Thank you Alm. Pak Ferry.
Dayak a name for indigenous peoples in Kalimantan/Borneo.
The Dayak are one of the few most feared tribes on earth, if we hear about Dayak then the thought is headhunter, tattoo and magic.
Head hunting is deeply rooted in their culture and is as relevant today as it always has been. To Dayak people, spirits symbolize everything from animals to plants to humans. The Dayak believed that a person’s soul resides in one’s head, that their enemies’ heads held special supernatural powers that were needed to complete complex rituals,They believed that by taking the head, the victim’s powers and status will be transferred to the victor, This is thought to ensure a good harvest and to nurture the fertility of the tribe, the more heads a hunter collected, the higher his rank.
