The Dayak Betang home


The Dayak Betang home

In one view, the building does not look like a house. So great, long, and rose from the sand surface that is supported by foundation pillars as high as one meter. Porch area and length as a pier at the edge of the sea. A moment later there was lively conversation speaking Ahe, Kanayatn Dayak tribe language. A bunch of kids down the stairs and asked me to climb the top of the building. A wide wooden houses and a long standing strong in front of the eye. This is the length of the house, or the so-called House Betang, typical of Dayak tribe. To 186 meters in length and contained 36 after passing through the patio door frames, each frame of the door is the entrance to the home of each family head.

They called their family home by the door number. "The door is one of the first family's door, sir Albertus residents," Paul said Adi, who escorted me to the Dayak tribe Kanayatn. To go to the location, it took 3 hours from the city of Pontianak and get to the village Sahamp, sub Sengah Temila Betang house where this stands.
