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.

Dayak Peacemaking Agreements in Borneo took place at 3 venues 
(within 30 years 1894-1924)
1st Peacemaking(1894) at Tumbang Anoi Village (now Kalimantan Indonesia)
2nd Peacemaking(1899) at Marudi Town(now Sarawak Malaysia)
3rd Peacemaking(1924) at Kapit 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 ..

This band emphasizes on modernizing and creating new yet melodic instrumental songs by traditional instruments, in which consists of western, traditional and nature elements featuring Sape'.

The unique thing about our band is that we are using traditional music instruments like sape, bungkau, kompang, seruling.... basically any instruments we can get, and then combining them with modern instruments like keyboard, bass and guitar, while infusing nature elements (rain, birds etc) to make music.

We are trying something new by combining modern western music and traditional Malaysian music. We hope that we can show the beauty of Malaysia through music.

Who is Dayak ?? (from Malaysian Perspective)

DAYAK is a generic term that has no precise ethnic or tribal significance but distinguishes the indigenous people from the largely Malay population of the coastal areas.This term is UNIVERSAL given by Westerners (BORNEO & DAYAK origin 1830s)..When its come to LOCAL CONTEXT ? (the definition is slightly difference)Since BORNEO is comprises of INDONESIA BORNEO(Kalimantan),MALAYSIAN BORNEO( East Malaysia) & BRUNEI

For most of  Sarawakian, when you asking them this question..

1) WHO IS DAYAK? ..

Iban  & Bidayuh (  they are  known as Sea Dayak & Land Dayak by Brooke Dynasty)
In fact,Iban never called themselves as a SEA DAYAK. Since, they never found live near the sea or coastal area in the island of Borneo for the century.

How Iban known as Sea Dayak to Westerners (since 1838)? (click)

2) When you asking Orang Ulu young generation.ARE YOU DAYAK?

No. I'm ORANG ULU ..I'm not Dayak( Dayak is Iban & Bidayuh since they are celebrating GAWAI DAYAK Festivel every year...
Gawai Festival is a Dayak Identity ?? (click)..

3)What is the Difference btw Orang Ulu , Orang Asli & Orang Utan..

This is the definition was given by MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT after independence..

3) WHY in MALAYSIAN CONTEXT we are classified under OTHERS(LAIN-LAIN) instead of DAYAK??

To make Dayak more Ignorance,weak & UNUNITED.(United we stand Divided we Fall )..

How part of Borneo Dayak joined MALAYSIA (click...) ??

5) Melanau People .Which Category they are?? DAYAK or MALAY??
 They are DAYAK... .
Despite the small population, to the casual observer, the coastal dwelling Melanau of Sarawak, generally do not identify with one religion, as a number of them have Islamized and Christianised over a period of time. A few practise a distinct Dayak form of Kaharingan, known as Liko. Liko is the earliest surviving form of religious belief for the Melanau, predating the arrival of Islam and Christianity to Sarawak. The somewhat patchy religious divisions remain, however the common identity of the Melanau is held politically and socially. Social cohesion amongst the Melanau, despite religious differences, is markedly tight within their small community(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dayak_people)

5) WHY in INDONESIAN CONTEXT  ALL OF THEM IS DAYAK?

THEM is referring to ( IBAN ,BIDAYUH ,ORANG ULU & KAZADANDUSUN ,RUNGUS & MURUT ,LUN DAYEH) ..In Kalimantan they are ONE(DAYAK KENYAH ,DAYAK BIDAYUH DAYAK IBAN ,DAYAK LUN DAYEH , DAYAK  ..DAYAK & SO ON..regardless their religion they are DAYAK ..(DAYAK CHRISTIAN & DAYAK MUSLIM)...

Dayak people real borneo itself (Indonesian Perceptive about DAYAK..)?? (click)

6) WHY Orang Ulu leader never admitted they are Dayak even though they knowing the truth?
The answer is maybe IGNORANCE & EGOISTIC ( since in olden days each tribe fight against each others )

In those days, the way of war was the only way that any Dayak tribe could achieve prosperity and fortune. Dayak warfare was brutal and bloody, to the point of ethnic cleansing. Many extinct tribes, such as the Seru and Bliun, are believed to have been assimilated or wiped out by the Ibans. Tribes like the Bukitan, who were the original inhabitants of Saribas, are believed to have been assimilated or forced northwards as far as Bintulu by the Ibans. The Ukits were also believed to have been nearly wiped out by the Ibans.
The Ibans started moving to areas in what is today's Sarawak around the 15th century. After an initial phase of colonising and settling the river valleys, displacing or absorbing the local tribes, a phase of internecine warfare began. Local leaders were forced to resist the tax collectors of the sultans ofBrunei. At the same time, Malay influence was felt, and Iban leaders began to be known by Malay titles such as Datu (Datuk), Nakhoda and Orang Kaya.

DAYAK DEFINITION??

dayak  plural of Day·ak (Noun)

Origin: 
1830–40

Noun A member of a group of indigenous peoples inhabiting parts of Borneo. The group of Austronesian languages spoken by these peoples.

Dayak

 noun    (Concise Encyclopedia)

Any member of a non-Muslim indigenous people of the southern and western interior of the island of Borneo. Dayak is a generic term that has no precise ethnic or tribal significance but distinguishes the indigenous people from the largely Malay population of the coastal areas. Most Dayaks are riverine people who live in small longhouse communities. Children live with their parents until marriage, and boys, who usually seek brides outside their own village, go to live in their wife's community. Their subsistence economies rest on the shifting cultivation of hill rice, supplemented by fishing and hunting. They number more than two million.Source:merriam-webster.com

Pernahkah Ngepan "HITAM" di pakai di Pertandingan Kumang di Sarawak?

Merujuk kepada isu-isu yang berbangkit berkenaan Ngepan yang di katakan bukan Ngepan Iban yang asli kerana ianya berwarna HITAM & tidak sesuai di pakai di Pertandingan Kumang Sarawak.

ShirLey Jimeli
Miss Sarawak Ethnic -Iban 2013 ,Miss Tourism BHF 2013 & The Best Traditional Costume(Iban Kategory) at Borneo Hornbill Festival 2013.

Kenapa Warna Hitam adalah bukan Pakaian Kumang Sarawak?

KAIN KANGAN:"Warna Hitam adalah sinonim di pakai semasa seseorg Berkabung atau Ngulit bagi Suku Iban & Kebiasaan nya "BALU" yang kematian Suami yang memakai Baju sedemikian.."
Manakala kebanyakan Org Iban lebih suka berwarna Merah atau" Mansau" ini adalah kerana Warna sedemikian  ada berkaitan dengan Lagenda Kumang .

Orang Cina suka Warna Apa ?
Org Cina semasa berkabung juga mengenakan WARNA HITAM & Sangat Menyukai WARNA MERAH (spt di CHEOGSAM ,TANGLONG ,ANGPOW dsb nya....cuba kaitkan kenapa ada persamaan ?? Pengaruh satu sama lain.

Pernahkah "Ngepan "HITAM"di pakai di Pertandingan Kumang di Sarawak?

Kumang Gawai di RUMAH DAYAK Sibu pada tahun 1970an.cuma tengok elok-elok jenis Ngepan yang digunakan di bawah walaupun Gambar hitam-putih sudah pasti ada dapat meneka mana NGEPAN KUMANG yang berwarna HITAM...

A PICTURE TELLS A THOUSANDS WORDS.

A PICTURE TELLS A THOUSANDS WORDS..."SILA RUJUK GAMBAR YANG BERWARNA" 
The first modern Kumang Gawai in Sarawak is Senorita Linang. She was crowned for three consecutive years that is in 1966, 1967 and 1969.Senorita Linang during Miss Malaysia Float Queen 1967 with Malaysia 1st Prime Minister.
She is also represent Sarawak in Miss Malaysia Float Queen 1967 and was placed 2nd runner up after Miss Kedah and Miss Penang.
  

KENAPA KAIN BURIE DI PAKAI OLEH IBAN BATANG RAJANG??

Asal KainBurie:pakaian Org banuak'a dari Batang Embaloh.Pengaruh Dayak Memaloh terhadap Kain Burie Rajang..(entri blog saya pada Dec 2011) click LINK..sini,,,

According to my Memaloh 's Friend(Alexiato Simuker)..
"Org Taman/Embaloh are always welcome to Iban Longhouse( especially in BATANG RAJANG AREA) compared to the other ethnic because Memaloh are good at handwork and you can see most Iban accessories were done by Memaloh metal-smith....that why Iban People never hunted the MEMALOH's HEAD during an ancient days..since they have a MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING....& that why every longhouses at my Hometown KATIBAS..One MEMALOH 's family settled down there until now has been assimilated as an Iban (with weird accent).

'Iban tidak mengunakan baju ini' lagi sbb sudah ada "BETTER COLOURFULL COSTUMES di perkenalkan"  maksudnya Iban Rajang pernah mengenakan Fashion ini pada era nya & skg hanya tersimpan dlm peti besi lama**Tapi  harus diingat Org Memaloh pernah " menetap" dikalangan  Iban & berasimilisi menjadi Iban ataupun dari Perkahwinan Campur dgn Iban Batang Rajang(Dari Kanowit-Katibas-Kapit).

STANDARD NGEPAN KUMANG? 

Tahukah anda STANDARD NGEPAN baru diperkenalkan pada Tahun 1980an ..bukannya 100 tahun yang lepas pun & pada 100 tahun yang lepas tak wujud Pertandingan Kumang Gawai  (1st Kumang Gawai pada penghujung 1960an selepas Perayaan Gawai di IKtiraf oleh Kerajaan British (LINK))& wanita Iban pada masa dulu adalah TOPLESS (SILA BACA SINI..) & Trend TOPLESS sudah di HARAMKAN oleh SERAKUP INDU DAYAK SARAWAK (SIDS) kerana ingin memartabatkan MARUAH WANITA DAYAK ..maka MAREK EMPANG merupakan Jenis Ngepan yang sesuai utk Agenda itu....

Topless Sea Dayak
Org dulu "berkemban" pakai Sarung Hitam??**takkan Balu juga masih muda tu**Sebelum ada Sarong Batik**.

KUMANG SARAWAK VS MISS SARAWAK ETHNIC -IBAN.

Memandangkan Kumang Sarawak sudah memiliki STANDARD NGEPAN KUMANG..

Tapi harus diingat BORNEO HORNBILL FESTIVAL diadakan di Luar SARAWAK & Gelaran yang di rebut adalah MISS SARAWAK ETHNIC -IBAN..&  Penganjur di Borneo Hornbill Festival berhak menentukan STANDARD nya yang TERSENDIRI.
Selain daripada itu, Pakaian Hitam (Chelum) amat sinonim dgn suku-suku Borneo yang lain pada masa dulu spt Suku MEMALOH,KAYAN/KENYAH,KELABIT,BISAYA,MURUT/LUN BAWANG,LUN DAYEH,
MELANAU, BIDAYUH ,KADAZAN DUSUN ..tak terkecuali Suku Iban juga ...Baju Kuas??

 SASH warna HITAM ada kaitan juga ka???

Akhir Kata, Masyarakat Iban sudah terselerak di seluruh Malaysia ..& pakaian Warna  HITAM merupakan SIMBOL Elegan bagi Dunia Tanpa sempadan  ..& bukan hanya di pakai oleh BALU-BALU atau Org Berkabung pada zaman dahulu..Jadilah bangsa yang relevant & berfikiran terbuka ....

ARE YOU READY FOR BORNEO HORNBILL FESTIVAL 2014???
