The card shows traditional regalia worn by Kenyah Dayak elders, in the region of East Kalimantan, Borneo, Indonesia, on the banks of Mahakan river. Kenyah people are an indigenous, Austronesian-speaking people of Borneo, and are divided into more than 40 tribes or sub-groups which share common migration histories, customs and related dialects. They are traditionally swidden agriculturists living in longhouses, known as 'uma-dado'.Each longhouse consists of families who choose their own leader, or headman. When they have any event or celebration such as harvest festival 'tau bio Ramay o o Ajau, pelepek uman'; they will normally use the longhouse verandah 'oseh bi'o' to gather and deliver speeches to guide their youngsters. Almost all Kenyah people are Christian.
