Iban culture

The Iban, an indigenous group from Borneo, are known for their rich cultural traditions rooted in animism, agriculture, and communal life. They are skilled in weaving, carving, and storytelling, often passing down histories orally. Their spiritual beliefs involve reverence for nature and ancestors, reflected in ceremonies and rituals. The Iban traditionally practice "longhouse" living, a communal dwelling symbolizing kinship. They highly value bravery, honor, and social cohesion. While many have embraced modernity, they continue to preserve their cultural identity through festivals, traditional dress, and crafts, blending age-old customs with contemporary influences.
