kelabit-people-The highlanders
The Kelabits of Sarawak First "discovered" around the turn of the 20th Century, the Kelabits, a tribe of fierce warriors and headhunters who saw off anyone entering their territory, were generally given a wide berth by neighbouring tribes Culturally and linguistically, they are distinct in many ways from the other thirty or so tribes in Sarawak.
Beads have literally rolled their way round the world, picking up, along the journey, bits of culture, lore and drama.
HAVE beads will travel. That seemed to be the case back in the days when traders explored new territories to ply their wares (.http://www.thestar.com.my/Story)
