In the past, there is a buried corpse by burning, there is a way to pit his own grave; nothing left to be in a sealed coffin for months waiting for the hunters returned with a few heads kayauan results, but some are buried in the normal way. That is the multiculturalism Dayak.
Dayak identity was not referring to one community only. Even agreement on the use of the term itself actually Dayak unfinished. See for example the book by Mikhail Coomans (1987) or Herman Joseph van Hulten (1992) or even that the author is of the Dayaks themselves, Thambun Anyang (1998) who all use the term 'Power'

is not a Dayak. In fact there are several other authors who use the term Dyak or Power '. Which version is right? The truth, the term did not come from the Dayaks. He is not a term that is given but gifted the name given by others. Dayak is not primary but secondary ethnicity ethnicity, namely the identity used by the Dayak people in touch with other ethnic groups than amongst the Dayak. The variety of versions concerning the writing of the word Dayak, may also reflect an aspect of multiculturalism is.
Therefore, if we mean by Dayak is a native of Borneo, then surely we are talking about hundreds of identity (sub) ethnic groups - in addition is a native of Borneo - has some general similarities for example in terms of origin, worldviews or physical form. Language Dayaks were hundreds, different customary rituals, traditions also vary. Tradition mengayau example. One great if say that all of the Dayaks in ancient times was the head-hunters. This assumption is tantamount to saying that all of the Dayaks are Christian or all at war with the Dayak people of Madura. In short, the Dayaks were multiethnic, of course if we narrow the definition of ethnicity.
Because Dayak 'multiethnic', it is not too difficult to find multiculturalism in culture, because reality itself is multicultural Dayak. The language is different, so too has the tradition that each sub-ethnic. That is why the existential reality of these communities, at some time in the history of the past, Dayak communities were other people to each other. 'Other people' not only means not incorporated in a collective identity, or a kind of 'pan-dayakisme'-as it is known now, but some of the community also attack each other and kill each other physically. So the Dutch colonial government needs to take the initiative to gather the representatives of those communities in the Fall Anoi (Central Kalimantan now) in 1894 in order to resolve the dispute, quarrel due to various cases of murder, detention, and robbery. Please note that by SW Tromp, Afdeling West Kalimantan resident who reported from the meeting, participants not only the representative and head but also the Head of Adat Dayak Adat Melayu.
Fall Meeting Anoi not only prove that the Dayak people in the past engaged in hostilities with one another and with other ethnic groups, but also (and this is important) that culturally they have the potential to resolve all hostility and animosity that exists. In other words, they have a spirit of reconciliation which concretely proven-one of them-through meeting in the Fall Anoi it. Really Dayaks can make peace and forgive? Dayak cultural elements Which allows for it?

According to the author of this tradition is an extravagance that is less useful. It is better if it wants to hold a thanksgiving ceremony was pregnant at the age of 4 months of pregnancy step. Because the time step of 4 months of gestation the fetus is given the soul by God.Word of the Prophet Muhammad:"From Abdullah bin Mas'ud ra. Said that the Prophet SAW said: "Truly you formed in your mother's stomach for 40 days, the form cum (semen), then became alaqah for 40 days, then became mudghoh (a piece of meat) for 40 days, then sent him for blowing the soul of an angel and set the 4 problems "(Narrated by Bukhari, Ibn Majah, At-Tarmidzy)So, 4 is a cultural monthly in accordance with the guidance of Islam, because this moment to be grateful when the fetus is given the spirit of life. But if it wants to hold a thanksgiving 7 months is fine, maybe for once the first child during pregnancy, and even then not use rituals that are not in accordance with the teachings of Islam, could be replaced by means of holding or invited lectures or recitation mothers fathers to the Koran Al-Quran and mendo'akan to keselamatn baby and her mother in childbirth later.
