Origin of name Kalimantan

a little review about the origin of Borneo, this story I got from my grandfather in the village. He often told me there are lots of stories but for now I write about the origin of kalimantan.



Dayak people have their own perspective on the history of the island, which was revealed in the oral tradition of the so-called breast Tatum. Breast Tatum is one of the Dayak indigenous literature, which means true tears wailed. Tatum breast sung songs and very popular with the ancestors of the Dayaks of Kalimantan, where it tells the state since the time of the marine, the era of the gods, about the war, genealogy, and others.While Borneo itself has a meaning:
  1. Kali = river, Ex = large (former Dayak language sangen meaning large), which ultimately means the island of Borneo which has a large river.
  2. Kalimantan = name compatriots acid fruit tree that is widely available in Borneo.
  3. Borneo from Brunei who was once called by the name Burnei so that eventually became Borneo.
LEGAL FORM INDIGENOUS DAYAK

In implementing the indigenous Dayak tribes, there are two streams, namely:

1. Tersilah to worldliness
Customary law is applicable in criminal cases, ethics and social communities.
Customary law also adjudicate cases relating to the community for example: the problem of property, inheritance, marriage, divorce, the provisions of the heirs, the problem of children in divorce, property continence, the rights to land.

2.Tersilah to Religion
Customary Law of Religious tersilah to punish anyone who has been insulting and defamatory matters relating to public confidence, for example: grave damage, damage pahewan, destructive joint plot, plot Pali damage, destroying the Indus, destroying stumbled, breaking the traditional Pali village while holds rutas, violate customary land when memalas Pali, Pali violate customary place of birth, violate customary Pali during treatment of the sick, damaging pangantoho (small house where the idol), plague berjinah with relatives, plague berjinah with mother / father, plague berjinah with cousin, damage Pantar.

CULTURE

BETANG HOUSE, HOUSE CULTURAL TRADITION AND ALMOST MARGINALIZED DAYAK


Inspired and derived from the book "Identity Dayak And Indonesia's Struggle: Learning from Tjilik Riwut" Galangpress Publishers, April 2006.
Betang house is a typical traditional house Kalimantan contained in various parts of Kalimantan, especially in upstream areas which usually becomes the center of the Dayak tribe settlements, where the river is the main transportation routes for the Dayak tribe to perform a variety of mobility everyday life like going to work to the fields whereDayak tribe fields are usually far from residential areas, or perform commercial activities (the ancient Dayak tribe usually trade using the barter system of mutual exchange with the fields, gardens and livestock).
Great shape and this betang house varies in different places. 
There betang house which reach lengths up to 150 meters and 30 meters wide. Generally betang house built in the form of a stage with a height of three to five feet from the ground. The high building this betang I expect to avoid flooding in the rainy season that threatened areas in the upstream river in Borneo. Some housing units could have a house betang more than one depending on the size of the household members of such residential community.Each household (family) occupies the chamber (room) that the barriers of a large house betang, along with the Dayak tribe in general also have single houses built temporarily to perform the activity fields, and this is because away distance between fields with the settlements.
