POLICY

A land of amazing natural beauty and rich in cultural heritage, the Indonesian territory of Kalimantan makes up 2/3 of the Island of Borneo. Well known for its tropical rain forests, rich natural resources, and exotic flora and fauna, Kalimantan offers a unique world of its own, with some areas still unexplored. Originally inhabited by the Dayak, it is now home to 10 million people with a variety of cultures.

The indigenous Dayaks, or the Orang Gunung (Mountain People), traditionally live in longhouses called Lamin or Umaq Daru that can house as many as 50 people. Once known as headhunters, the tribe consists of many sub-tribes such as the Iban, Punan and Benuaq. The arrival of newcomers has given this land a rich cultural mixture of Dayak, Malay, Chinese, Javanese as well as adding the religious influences of Islam, Hindu and Christianity to the Dayak animists.

Rivers play a very important role in communication and the economy of the inhabitants. Community life is mostly centered along river edges. For the adventurous, this island offers many opportunities to satisfy that desire: rafting or traveling along some of the world's most beautiful and challenging rivers, trekking through traditional villages and jungles, or taking a safari trip to one of the many national parks.
