Punan Dayak customary law books; between formalization and the nature of customary law



Long and tiring journey indigenous Dayak Punan Uheng-Kereho to document the customary rules, has water mark as the inaugural event of customary law books Drs.Yosep Punan by Alexander, vice-regent M.si Kapuas Hulu in the village of Nanga ponder (4/12/07).
Punan Indigenous peoples should be proud of the inaugural, because communities were resettled around the 1970's in the Nanga Erak This is a sub tribe Dayak own lifestyle Nomad and highly dependent on their supermarket which is forest.

Punan Indigenous peoples are still inhabit perhuluan Kapuas River in West Kalimantan.Their population is only 5000's make this group a little less known by the outside world.In general, they were stained with farm life and go hunting in the woods and the occasional panning for gold in traditional ways.
A series of inaugural events is like the sign has been a long struggle over this community who started to write the rules of customary since the '60s. 
After that era in 1990, held at Nanga Era held a meeting of indigenous peoples to gather and renew their customary rules, similar activities in the Nanga Copy berullang back in 1999 and the latter in the year 2006.
Despite the success of the Punan posted customary rules, there is little action in the mind is related in ways of documenting customary rules which are not only grouped Punan but almost in all the indigenous peoples who still apply the customary rules. 
The question is: Does it really appropriate if the essential customs rules not written down, recorded a written rule, especially if it neatly codified as a formal rule (product legislation)?
Even if this is the need to keep the customary rules are not extinct swallowed "Modernization", my opinion may need reconsideration regarding the appropriate model form or relating how documentor (writing) customary rules.
Once again whether this pengkodifikasian not constitute a separate kebakan-trap for indigenous peoples? 
because the facts reveal the field after the rules were written, indigenous people have more confidence (fixated) on the written text rather than considerations booked born from the mouth of custom devices.
