Welcome party - Sarawak 1994

            Longhouse in Long Bulan: Kenyah tribe woman performing the "Hornbill dance" accompanied by the sounds of a sape, a traditional Bornean stringed instrument.

Long Bulan was one of the 18 villages that was flooded over by the Bakun dam.
The construction of the Bakun dam required the relocation of more than 9,000 native residents (mainly Kayan/Kenyah) of the indigenous peoples who lived in the area to be flooded. 
         Many Sarawak natives have been relocated to a longhouse settlement named Sungai Asap in Bakun. Most of them were subsistence farmers. Each family was promised 3 acres (1.21 ha) of land but many families still have not been compensated.
