Dayak Peacemaking Agreements in BORNEO

Headhunting was rampant in BORNEO before Dayak Peacemaking Agreements by Colonial Government.Now ,DAYAKs  living PEACE AND HARMONY among each other..


3 Reasons for abandoning headhunting are:
1)After Peacemaking Agreements at Tumbang Anoi (Kalimantan) ,Marudi (Sarawak ) & Kapit (Sarawak)
2)Coming of Christianity, with education where Dayaks are taught that headhunting is murder and against the Christian Bible's teachings.
3)Dayaks' own realization that headhunting was more to lose than to gain.

2nd Peacemaking(1899) at Marudi Town(now Sarawak Malaysia)

PEACE AND UNITY

Comments ;

That's why we in Sarawak are the best and independent. Where all races can live in peace and harmony 64 years long before we form this Federation of Malaysia in 1963. The independent that you get 5 years before that is thru the paper but not doing a peace making between 3 main races. Dare to humble and seek forgiveness? Do it than our federation will unite.. .. God bless this land ..
