each tribe in the world has a unique and distinctive tradition. Certainly. Just imagine, in Indonesia which consists of approximately 1680 tribes, also has its own uniqueness-uniqueness.
With all the uniqueness and uniqueness that makes a tribe can be known by the world. The higher level of uniqueness and uniqueness, the more known also by the world. Together with that, making a tribe not only known,
Dayak tribe is highly respected, not only in Indonesia, but also in the world. Dayak tribe is known and admired by the world because of its traditions, such as traditional art; in this case his tattoo culture and his war dance.
However, one thing that makes this tribe feared by the world is its mystical things. For example, if you play with an inland Dayak girl, your vital tool can be lost.
Perspectives such as the Sampit conflict; between Dayak and Madura, and during the war of independence between the Dayaks and the Japanese army, where the Japanese army was helpless against the Dayak inland, making Dayak truly feared the world.
Remember how great the so-called Panglima Burung who leads the Dayak war. The existence of the Commander of the Bird, a mythical figure who is very legendary, it is not only known and feared Indonesia, but also the world.
The term "Dayak" is most commonly used to refer to indigenous non-Muslims, non-Malays who live on the island. [28] [29] This is especially true in Malaysia, because in Indonesia there are Dayak tribes who are Muslim but still belong to the Dayak category although some of them are called the tribe of Banjar and Kutai tribe. There are various explanations about the etymology of this term. According to Lindblad, the word Dayak comes from the word power of the Kenyah language, which means upstream or inland. King, further suspects that Dayak may also come from aja, a word from Malay which means original or indigenous. He is also convinced that the word may have originated from a term from the Central Javanese language which means inappropriate or inappropriate behavior. [30] [31]
The term for the indigenous tribes near Sambas and Pontianak is Daya (Kanayatn: person power = lander), while in Banjarmasin called Biaju (bi = from aju = upstream). [32] So originally the term Daya (land people) is intended for indigenous people of West Kalimantan namely Bidayuh clumps, hereinafter called Dayak Darat which is distinguished by Dayak Laut (Iban clump). In Banjarmasin, the term Dayak began to be used in the agreement of Sultan Banjar with the Dutch East Indies in 1826, to replace the terms Biaju Besar (Kahayan river area) and Biaju Kecil (Kapuas Murung river area) which respectively changed into Dayak Besar and Dayak Kecil, the Dutch colonial only these two areas are then administratively called Land Dayak. Since that time the term Dayak is also intended for the Ngaju-Ot Danum grove or the Barito grove. Furthermore the term "Dayak" is used extensively which collectively refers to indigenous tribes of different localities [33], especially non-Muslims or non-Malays. [34] At the end of the 19th century (post Tumbang Anoi Peace) the term Dayak was used in the context of the colonial ruling population that took over the sovereignty of tribes living in the rural areas of Borneo. [35] According to the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Project for the Assessment and Development of Cultural Values of East Kalimantan, August Kaderland, a Dutch scientist, was the first person to use the term Dayak in the above sense in 1895.
The meaning of the word 'Dayak' itself is debatable. Commans (1987), for example, writes that according to some authors, 'Dayak' means man, while other authors claim that the word means inland. Commans says that the most precise meaning is the person who lives upriver. [36] With a similar name, Lahajir et al. reported that the Iban people use the term Dayak with human meaning, while the Tunjung and Benuaq people interpret it as a river upstream. They also claim that some people claim that the Dayak term refers to certain personal characteristics recognized by the Borneans as strong, brave, courageous and tenacious. [37] Lahajir et al. noted that there are at least four terms for Kalimantan native inhabitants in the literature, namely Daya, Dyak, Daya, and Dayak. The indigenous people themselves are generally unfamiliar with these terms, but those outside their scope call them 'Dayaks'. [38]
