It seems that it is so rare for you to meet Kenyah Girl. Some people, they thought of Kenya or something but Kenyah is one of the indigenous tribe that can only be found in Sarawak and East Kalimantan of Indonesia.
We are speaking the Austronesian language of Borneo, living in the remote Baram (Lio Matoh, Long Selaan, Long Moh, Long Anap, Long Mekaba, Long Jeeh, Long Belaong, Long San, Long Silat, Long Tungan, etc. ), Data Kakus, Data Surau, Sg. Senep, Long Dungan, Long Busang, Long Beyak, Bintulu, Miri, Sungai ASAP resettlement for Bakun DAM, Long Bulan, Long Jawe and Belaga regions in Sarawak, Malaysia and the remote Apau Kayan, Bahau (Bau), Benua Lama & Baru and Mahakam regions in East Kalimantan, Indonesia.
We, the Kenyah people are divided into various tribes including the Uma Bakah, Lepo Anan, Lepo Tau, Lepo Jalan, Lepo' Tepu, Uma Kelap, Badeng (Jamok, Lep Aga'), Bakung, lebu Kulit, Uma Alim, Uma Timai, Uma Lasan, Lepo Ma-ot, Sambop, Lepo Ke' (this is my place), Ngurek, Kiput, Long Ulai, Long Tikan, Long Sabatu, Lepo Ga, Lepo Dikan and Lepo Pua.
We stay in the long house (uma dadok) and our ancestors work as a farmers for our living. Now things has change and most of the Kenyah people has moved to the city and their culture and economy has also changed.
