While the motives of tattoo pictures as well adapted to the prevailing social strata in society. Figure tattoos among ordinary people is different with important people like the Chief, the Baliatn, the Demat and the Commander of the war.

Kayau ( Head Hunter )

Kayau words mean as the head hunting community leaders who become enemies, where the head of the quarry will be used in rituals Notokng (The term Dayak Kendayan). So basically is a Kayau not a war between tribes such as the war in the riots that have occurred in Kalimantan, some time ago, that his victims indiscriminately whether an ordinary or an effect on the enemy.

Kayau not haphazardly done, as well as enemy characters in the drill, all carefully considered by management. Meanwhile, the number of troops that will be on duty Kayau on the field at least seven people.

Kayau events recorded history and quite famous is the event Kayau Head of the kingdom of King Patih Gumantar Mempawah (Kingdom Dayak Kendayan) West Kalimantan Dayak Kayau forces Biaju / Ngaju Central Kalimantan, although the story circulating among the Dayak Kendayan our times mentions that the name Biaju This often say as Dayak Bidayuh Sungkung, and this is exacerbated by the authors of books about the history of West Kalimantan, which takes for granted the stories in the Community without further explored and even some authors with a trivial mention that this Biaju Dayak has its own island in the outer simply because hearing Borneo folklore that says that they came wearing Ajong / ship, when in fact an island with Dayak Kendayan just to get to their home areas via rivers and the sea indeed.

Culture Ear length

At the present time a unique culture of the Dayak people who can only be witnessed on the Dayak people Stanmenras / clump Apokayan (Kenyah, Kayan and Bahau) and a bit of Dayak Iban and Dayak Punan only, while on the Dayak Others have not been found. Are other Dayak Society does not have this culture? To be honest almost all sub-ethnic Dayaks in the past have only just this tradition has long been left behind. Most of this tradition be abandoned since the arrival of an outsider to Borneo, ie since the arrival of Indian sailors and Arabic as well as Chinese or other ethnic Indonesia to Borneo, with reason to feel ashamed. but others leave 
  

This culture in the early days of Dutch colonial rule until the days of Japanese occupation. In the Dayak people who berdialek Banyadu Kendayan for example, from the stories of parents in the village district Tititareng Menyuke darit mentioned that in the Japanese occupation there are a grandmother who maintain Ear length. Sepeninggalan Grandma was then ended the long-term culture of the Dayak ear Banyadu. There is one interesting thing that might be the reason why people are still loyal Apokayan Dayak families maintain the culture of this long ears, if we notice that most indigenous elders or elder person or persons important in the social strata of indigenous Dayak people of this apokayan family is the most women.  

Women generally tend to be very firm known for maintaining custom or tradition that developed in the community than men, especially if the tradition is already considered part of the customs that must be preserved, then it certainly will be maintained, and especially if the person is important that these women generally always recommend that women remain elongate ear. But even so, over the development period it lately seems to already be in a critical condition in which many women are the Dayak family apokayan long left ear culture in a way to cut it.

Dayak tribe Bidayuh

Dayak Bidayuh tribe is a sub-tribe of the Dayak tribe Klemantan grove which is a sub-part of a group Ribunic / Jangkang comprising Ribun Dayak, Dayak Pandu, Pompakng, latitude, Pangkodatn, Jangkang, (Simpanbk) etc..

Region of domicile
The Dayak Bidayuh are one of the seven tribes of the Dayak in Kalimantan (Murut, Banuaka, Nganju, Iban, Kayan, Ma'anyan, Bidayuh), which most of its population cover Sanggau districts, Ketapang, and some spread in the region and Bengkayang Sekadau . The Dayak Bidayuh are also numerous in the area Noyan, Kembayan, Sanggau, Sanggau. In the village of Cape Pigeon, Ngalok, Mobui, Sejuah, Bun River, Tanap, and surrounding villages is the basis of this Bidayuh.  

There are some experts who had examined the origins of this Bidayuh. But, none of the authentic and involving all joints kehidiupan Bidayuh community. According to Prof. Richard McGinn Dayak Bidayuh have a close kinship with Bukar-Sadong Dayak tribe. Both Dayak tribe has a kinship with his brother tribe also Rejang of Sumatra. That is why in Sarawak is the name of the Rejang River, while in Sumatra is the name of spare Rejang. Their ancestors lived among the three rivers namely Rejang rivers, streams and rivers Bukar Sadong. Why and how? Dayak Bidayuh tribal brothers and Bukar Sadong, the Rejang tribe is in Sumatra, still need further study?.
Livelihood Most of the livelihood is farming switch, rubber farmer, handyman. Only a small proportion who work as government officials and merchants, especially government officials. Only in this decade there are several local men who occupy important positions in government. The main reason for the livelihood so is the lack of access to science and technology and the lack of educational facilities there. Imagine, the kids have to walk as far as tens of kilometers on foot to reach the access to education. Not surprisingly, many parents are more concerned with the economic needs rather than education.

There is one interesting thing from the life of Dayak Bidayuh community. Natural conditions that do not support agricultural businesses responded with open farm fields, to later be burned. this is done to menggemburkan soil. Such a state of nature offset by a variety of forest plants that can be used as food, especially fruits. Bidayuh community very rarely consume vegetables. Daily food is rice and side dishes prepared themselves, with spices typical of Dayak. Their diet is dominated by salty and sour taste. When the fruit season arrives, most of the profession changed to impromptu fruit farmers. Usually the fruit is picked from the forest brought Afternoon reserved for sale. They have known the money just like us.
Religion The majority of the Bidayuh population adheres to Catholic Christianity, the rest are Protestant, while hardly embraced Islam at all, is because that the teachings of Islam forbid pork, while it outlines the life of Dayak people associated with pig meat as food. Chinese ethnic majority there has been interbreeding with the natives.

Dayak Tribe Banyadu

    Dayak priest is leading a religious ritual

The term Dayak Tribe Banyadu''taken from the term in their own language of origin of the word "Nyadu" which means "No" word is used as a term distinguishing dialect with other Dayak dialects. Dayak Banyadu itself is one of the Dayak tribe in the family Kanayatn. note of the language with Dayak Dayak Banyadu Bakati is a transition between family kanayatn Dayak Bidayuh Dayak families where some of the language similar or identical to the language kanayatn and partly similar or identical to the Bidayuh language. banyadu language vowel sounds generally similar to any other language Kanayatn Dayak families tend to read into the vowel "U" for example the word "exist" in a language other kanayatn Kanayatn Banyadu become "Adu" word "equal" to "Samu" word "Datakng" to " Dutukng "," message "to" pesun ', "smoke" to "/ create", "in" to "Dalum / darupm", "night" to "malum / marupm", and others.
Local Dayak Banyadu The Dayak Banyadu many live in areas upstream sub Banyuke, Banyuke Darit, Meranti, Serimbu and several villages in the district of Ngabang districts and in districts Yell Hedgehogs, Bengkayang city, in several villages in the district Samalantan and in villages throughout the District Bengkayang transmigration. The days before people Banyadu often called People Banyuke, Banyuke word itself comes from the name of one village Banyadu person who in the past became the center of the capital or some kind of village governance (Banua / Continent), which in headed by a Chief, the center or the capital of the Continent Satona located upstream of a river during the first does not have a name. Because the most upstream villages in the upstream river named Kampung Banyuke the river finally tipped in the area called the river banyuke. Quite often a mistake to Dayak people who called this Banyuke, especially the younger generation now where in their opinion Banyuke is called the Dayak people who berdialek Banane kanayatn Darit aka people and tend to strongly believe in it, but the truth is for the Dayak community as a berdialek Kanayatn Banyadu, this is certainly based on the grounds that all villages or all the people living downstream of the middle and upstream of the river is Banyadu people, and especially in because it is the origin of the word banyuke from the name of a village of the river upstream Banyadu Banyuke. Before people banyadu Hedgehogs inhabit rural areas, gorged and Sanggau Kapuas, people inhabiting the western coast of Borneo Banyadu west of the area around the northern districts of Pontianak teeter over into the river pinyuh now. because it is caused by various reasons banyadu Dayak ancestors eventually heading inland through the mouth of the Kapuas river then down the river until it reached the sea urchin Ngabang area today. There the group split into two parts, the other group (People Balantian, People Angan Pandu and people) go towards the east and the border regions inhabited districts Tayan Hedgehogs and upstream (Sanggau district) now. While the larger group into westward through banyuke river estuary to the upstream and creeks banyuke and building settlements known as early or Tammakng (read: mine). Villagers beginning or village of origin aka Tamakng people Banyuke banyadu along the river and creeks this banyuke like other Dayak people also do shifting activities. The longer the farther fields are opened, ultimately for reasons already too far from the village of origin, then the parents the days it took the initiative to establish new villages near their fields. The new Village termed Varokng (read: Varong) was significant as the village fields. Along with era growth and increasing population-varokng varokng are finally getting more and more crowded. The villages of origin aka Tamakng people Banyadu include Tamakng Bale, Temia ojol, Padang Pio, Loeng, untang, Banyuke, Balantian and others. While villages such as fields or Varokng Tititareng, sabah, magon, Yell, Sentibak, Peranuk, Temia seo, plain manyun, berinang manyun, sinto, kampet, semade, sentibak and others.
Indigenous Dayak Cultural Banyadu Indigenous culture Banyadu generally equal to other customary Dayak Klemantan clumps, which differentiate only to mention the term only. One of the Indigenous culture that is baliatn generally executed by using language that berdialek Kanayatn Dayak shaman baliannya Bananna although native people Banyadu. This is one reason besides the language that causes Dayak Banyadu grouped into Kanayatn Dayak family. As with other Dayak community in the past People banyadu also lived in long houses (house or home betang Bantang) but right now none of them are still menyisakannya village. When people Banyadu establish a single dwelling house (Lamin or Ramin). They made their home was like a long house, it is seen from its shape which also extends along the length not only communal longhouse. Until now, single long houses are still there in some villages just like in the village there are two berinang manyun if there has not been dismantled alias.
Dayak Religion Banyadu System Banyadu religion is a religion indigenous people or in terms of Central Kalimantan Dayak community is called Kaharingan. It is monotheistic belief systems which focus on one God, called Jubata. In a world controlled by sangiakng Jubata in aid or a kind of angel-sangiakng the divine religions. When the priest Banyadu perform traditional religious rituals often Jubata name mentioned as jubata which this hill, or mountain in this area or that area, this is not bearti that Jubata is much more significant amount but that the power (God) is where- Where or power over all things. Jubata on the Dayak Dayak community Banyadu kanayatn as in other so-called dwell or live in heaven above (saruga Samo) or in the lining of the seventh heaven or specifically referred to as Sabayatn. Banyadu people in the present 70% of them are Catholic Christians, 20% Protestant and the remaining followers of indigenous religions (Kaharingan).

Finally he went to the wishes of her grandmother had to go back to the village but what happened to the villagers treated the same as a has-been even more rough again as like an animal by giving the grandchildren are with meat that is made of rubber (latex) that tastes bland and tough. The grandchildren bring the meat home to his grandmother, the granddaughter when she reached the hut of a villager gave flesh to the grandmother and the grandmother of her grandchildren to eat meat but the meat is tough to eat and after knowing that the meat from the village giving false then the murkalah grandmother and said, "Woe to the village because it has been treating us like animals," he growled. Then the grandmother told her grandson to go to the village by bringing a kitten who dressed like a man with a glove like machetes dipinggangnya and ordered release the kittens are in the midst of crowded. The grandson of the grandmother started to follow orders and do what her grandmother told her grandson off the kitten into the middle of the crowded and noisy when people are seeing the kitten instantly the crowd yelled at, mocked, laughed at, and ridiculed those kittens. Soon all of a sudden the sky turned cloudy and dark lightning everywhere hail also fell instantly village turned into a hill that is named hill sebomban and until now oarang Mayau still hold the belief that pamali laugh at animals, especially cats.
