Dayak tribe has a meaning as a man of courageous and unyielding. Dayak tribe has many unique traditional arts. Tribal power is divided into four major sub-ethnic and a small sub-ethnic, ie,

1.Kendayan / Kanayatn Grop
2.Ribunic / Jangkang Grop
3.Iban / Ibanic
4.Banuaka Grop
5.Kayaanik, punan, bukat, and others.


Dayak communities still hold firm beliefs dynamism, they believe each of these places there are certain ruler, which they call Jubata, Petara, Ala Taala, Penompa and others, for God's highest designation, then they still have other authorities under the power of God highest, for example, Puyang Gana (Dayak mualang) is the ruler of the land, King Juata (ruler of Water), Kama Baba (Army ruler), Jobata, Apet Kuyan'gh (Dayak Mali) and others.

For those who still adhere to its dynamism and confidence in its original culture, they separate themselves deeper into the forest, mount and river.
