Iban Ethnic

The Iban also live in longhouses,a communal living concept that still exists even in present days. The longhouse is often considered as a village by itself, with a leader called Tuai Rumah, often elected by the majority of the tribe members. That fact itself is small paradox to the common practice of certain countries or kingdoms which the leadership thrones are passed from one of similar descendant to another.

Bidayuh Ethnic

The Bidayuh ethnic group is further divided into smaller sub-tribal communities such asJagoi, Biatah, Bukar-Sadong, Selakau and Lara. Most of Bidayuh longhouses are built along the hill slopes of Sarawak's interiors and their main activities include rice farming, fishing and arts crafting.

Orang ulu Ethnic

the Orang Ulu Longhouse is the most impressive of all the showcase houses when it comes to appearance. The house is built on raised floors some feet above ground amidst lush tropical greenery. In fact, on first glance, you can mistake the longhouse as being an exquisite and luxurious jungle resort with its open-air veranda, superb traditional motifs painted on the totem poles, artistically-rich equipment and tools.

Melanau Ehtnic

Visitors will be amazed when first seeing the Melanau Tall House in the cultural village. It is built some 40 feet above ground that you will wonder how these tribal people, isolated from common modernity, were able to build such a behemoth. In as much as the house itself being an engineering marvel of its own, there are reasons why the house is built in such way. The main reason, according to the literature that I read, is that the coastal areas where the Melanau live are prone to frequent pirate attacks from the sea, hencethe tall house is some sort of protection against these perpetrators.
