                                  Dayak

     There are many tribes in Kalimantan, they live in harmony and peaceful coexistence, mutual help among tribes, including the Dayak Bekumpai, Dayak Benuaq, Dayak Kenyah, Dayak Mali, Dayak Meratus and many others tribes that I can said, the simbol of dayak tribes is the head or the beak and the feather of the Hornbill bird, the dayak tribe follows the philosophy of the Hornbill, how they lived, how they suvive in nature, how they take care of their wife, children and family, but there is alot of question about are they sure, following the philosophy of the Hornbill with killing them ? Using the head, beak, and the feather for the dance accessories ?
     Dayak Kenyah using the head, beak and feathers of hornbills to further induce mystical aura in their dance, because they believe that their ancestors came from the sky and down to earth resembles hornbills. Therefore, the Dayak Kenyah community respect and glorify hornbills. So it can serve as a Hornbill Dance of Dayak Kenyah homage to the origins of their ancestors. The feathers of hornbills have always held an important role in any traditional ceremonies and traditional dances and other forms of hornbills found in many engravings Dayak Kenyah.
     Before the further discussion about this, the addition of the Dayak and mystical things, hornbills population has begun to diminish, if the Dayak always use Hornbills and kill them, the population is on the wane and the unwitting be extinct.  
     Hopefully Dayak no longer use the hornbills as the property of their dance, Dayak loves hornbill very much, they guard, preserve, and protect it from hunters who are not responsible, and hopefully dayak able to realize that there are many options besides using hornbills as property to dance, because Dayak certainly don't want the population of their Hornbills decrease and extinct.
