Dayak

Scope note: The Dayak are indigenous Austronesian ethnic groups native to Borneo, comprising over 200 distinct riverine and hill-dwelling communities located principally in the central and southern interior of the island, each with its own dialect, customs, laws, territory, and culture. While these diverse groups share common distinguishing cultural traits, they maintain distinct identities and traditions. Historically practicing animist beliefs (Kaharingan and Folk Hinduism), the Dayak have undergone significant religious transformation since the 19th century, with mass conversions to Christianity and Islam.
