Special: Dayak Challenge in the 21st Century – Cultural Displacement

To Watch The Video in Youtube, please click here.

For a special Dayak Challenge in the 21st Century – Cultural Displacement programme, the 101 East team spent several weeks travelling across the island to film with different tribes and hear their stories.We spent time with the Penan – one of the few truly nomadic rainforest tribes in the world. Still hunting with blowpipes and spears, they depend entirely on the forest.

They spoke to us about how the logging companies are taking all of that away from them.

We also filmed with members of the Iban tribe who were once feared warriors and headhunters.

They told us how the young are increasingly turning their backs on the Iban way of life, leaving the older members of the tribe as the last custodians of traditions that stretch back centuries.

    2 iti prospect peda aku ba video tu.kesatu pasal lumberjack.kedua pasal pemerinsa msykt dayak.

    uji kitai mikir.bakani bala dayak ke bempu menua diperimba tau idup miskin bakanya.sedangkan tanah seekar berega beribu ringgit,kayu setan pan beribu ringgit.nya reti company nipu tanah sida.tanah sida enda dibayar rega.

    enti laban ketegal rakyat diau menua nya enda nemu utai kulu kili.atleast perintah bejaku ga.laban sida ngari ke rakyat.tang kebuah pekara tu nyadi laban perintah BN besekongkol enggau Towkey company ngerumpang menua dayak.nya alai sida nyentuk diatu bedolak dalih ka nyukat tanah NCR.temu sida bala dayak mayuh tanah ba sarawak.enti sida nyukat tanah tu.gerenti sida enda ulih mayar pampas agai bala dayak.laban diatu rega sawit,koko,getah majak niki.mayuh tanah dayak agi ka dikereja sida.

    kena muntan ke pengawa tu,bala dayak nadai cara bukai selain ari milih parti,ahli politik baru kena nganti perintah BN.laban seagi BN megai sarawak.seagi nya geran NCR pedih digaga,seagi nya tuai BN ulih disogok Towkay cina,seagi nya taib ngemelik ke tuai dayak.pugu mslh diatu bepun ari perintah.pambar ke dulu pugu tu.nagmbi bala dayak ulih nyumbuk pugu baru…
