About This Book
An extended travel and ethnographic account of journeys across central Borneo, detailing routes between western and eastern river systems and village life among Bahau, Kĕnja, Kajan, and neighboring groups. It combines narrative expedition notes—logistics, encounters, landscape, geology and mapping—with systematic observations of social organization, kinship, birth and death rites, religion and priestly practices, agricultural cycles, festivals, clothing, tattooing, housebuilding, weapons, crafts and trade. The work includes photographic plates and maps to illustrate material culture and presents results primarily from the author's own field observations gathered over multiple expeditions.
