Adaptation of the resettled Kenyah Dayak villagers to riverine environment in east Kalimantan: a preliminary report.
The Kenyah Dayak in East Kalimantan (Indonesia), who migrated from their mountainous homeland to a riverine village in the 1940s, have subsisted on slash-and-burn rice cultivation. To cope with rapidly increasing population, the villagers have not changed their farming practice to increase land productivity but instead have exploited fields in remote riverbanks, using motorized canoes.
