Pagan Tribes Of Borneo V1 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161447194)

The book ""Pagan Tribes Of Borneo V1"" is a comprehensive study of the indigenous tribes of Borneo, written by Charles Hose. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different tribe and their unique culture, customs, and beliefs. The author provides detailed information on the social organization, religious practices, and daily life of these tribes, drawing on his extensive fieldwork and personal observations. The book also includes numerous illustrations and photographs, which offer a visual representation of the people and their way of life. This volume is a valuable resource for scholars and researchers interested in the anthropology and ethnography of Southeast Asia, as well as anyone interested in learning more about the rich cultural heritage of Borneo's indigenous peoples.The Kayans believe themselves to be surrounded by many intelligent powers capable of influencing their welfare for good or ill. Some of these are embodied in animals or plants, or are closely connected with other natural objects, such as mountains, rocks, rivers, caves; or manifest themselves in such processes as thunder, storm, and disease, the growth of the crops and disasters of various kinds.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
