Description: Dayaks were feared for their ancient tradition ofheadhuntingpractices (the ritual is also known asNgayauby the Dayaks). Among the most prominent legacies during the colonial rule in theDutch Borneo(present-day Kalimantan) is theTumbang Anoi Agreementheld in 1894 in Damang Batu, Central Kalimantan (the seat of theKahayan Dayaks). It is a formal meeting that gathered all the Dayak tribes in Kalimantan for a peace resolution. In the meeting that is reputed to take several months, the Dayak people throughout the Kalimantan agreed to end the headhunting tradition as it believed the tradition caused conflict and tension between various Dayak groups. The meeting ended with a peace resolution by the Dayak people. Subsequently, the headhunting began to surface again in the mid-1940s, when the Allied powers encouraged the practice against the Japanese occupation of Borneo. It also slightly surged in the late 1960s when the Indonesian government encouraged Dayaks to purge the Chinese from interior Kalimantan who were suspected of supporting communism in mainland China Dayak(/da.k/;older spelling:Dajak) orDyakorDayuhare one of thenative groupsofBorneo.It is a loose term for over 200 riverine and hill-dwelling ethnic groups, located principally in thecentralandsouthern interiorofBorneo, each with its own dialect, customs, laws, territory, and culture, although common distinguishing traits are readily identifiable.
