Iban Studies

On 15 September 1958 the colonial government inaugurated the Borneo Literature Bureau (Tawai 1997: 6).

The traditional Iban view believed that this world ( dunya tu ) is separated from, and yet influenced by events and by actions of “beings” in a series of inter-connected unseen realms.

The Iban people, also known as Sea Dayaks, are an indigenous Austronesian ethnic group native to northwestern Borneo
