Pagan Tribes Of Borneo V1

Pagan Tribes of Borneo V1 is a comprehensive book written by Charles Hose, an English civil servant and ethnographer who spent several years studying the indigenous people of Borneo. The book is a detailed account of the pagan tribes of Borneo, their customs, traditions, beliefs, and way of life. It is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a particular tribe, including the Kayan, Kenyah, Murut, and Ibans.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the social organization of the tribes, their religious practices, their customs and rituals, their art and music, their hunting and fishing techniques, and their agriculture. Hose also provides detailed descriptions of the physical characteristics of the tribes, their clothing, and their weapons.The book is based on Hose's personal experiences and observations during his travels in Borneo, and it includes numerous photographs and illustrations that help to bring the text to life. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Borneo, and it remains a classic work in the field of anthropology.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.
