The gallery in the interior of a Kajan Dayak house with skulls and weapons along the wall, exhibiting their headhunters culture
In the past the Dayak were feared for their ancient tradition of headhunting practices. After conversion to Christianity or Islam and anti-headhunting legislation by the colonial powers the practice was banned and disappeared, only to resurface in the mid-1940s, when the Allies encouraged the practice against the Japanese, and the late 90s, when Dayak started to attack Madurese emigrants in an explosion of ethnic violence.
