Traditional Wedding Ceremonies- Dayak Kenyah Mahakam
Dayak Kenyah Tribe
Just like in Dayak Benuaq Tribe and Kutai Tribe wedding customs, in Dayak Kenyah traditional wedding custom, the parents would start to think of the way to look for a spouse for their son/daughter when he/she is considered mature enough.
Usually parents of both the man and the woman are beginning to search for the future son/daughter in law. If they feel that they have found the suitable one, the parents of the man/woman would send a messenger to make inquiries about the man/woman, whether he/she is still single or not. The messenger is someone who has the closest relationship with the father of the man's side such as the uncle from the father's side or perhaps even the man's father himself who is meeting and conversing with the woman's parents. Later on, if the man wants to conduct a direct approach, he can meet the girl directly. However, the man should take with him a woman who has the same age as the intended woman.
If the agreement is settled between both sides, then as the token of engagement, the woman will be given beads for bracelet, "beluko jangin" (an object in the form of small plate made of brass), "Uleng Safeu" (a necklace made of beads), clothes and "taah" (sarong). By the time the tokens are presented, they would also discuss the time when they would held the wedding.
After the set time of marriage has arrived, the wedding ceremony is held.
The couple, traditionally dressed, sit on a "Tawek" (a kind of gong). Later, there is "Menua/Nebara" ceremony led by an elder from the tribe by giving words such as "Udip sae' udip keline, udip dema, udip tiga, tiga urei anak lakei, tiga ia anak leto, tiga urai tiga padai le na muwe o" which means "hopefully the couple will have sons and daughters, good harvests and then later on live happily ever after.
The wedding ceremony mentioned above is a ceremony held in a certain kampoong. If the wedding involves people between kampongs, or even involves the royal family (Paren), the celebration will be very great. The wedding procession is for carrying the groom heading to the bride's house. While entering the house of the bride, the groom is obligated to walk on the row of gongs (tawek) arranged at the front yard of the house up to the front door. Gong (tawek) is ranged from the smallest to the biggest.
Those are brief descriptions about the traditional wedding ceremony of Dayak Kenyah Tribe, living in the inner part of Mahakam.

The Kenyahs People

Ukiran Dinding Kenyah, Lekaq Kidau Indonesia
The Kenyah are an indigenous, Austronesian-speaking people of Borneo, living in the remote Baram (Lio Mato, Long Jeeh, Long Belaong, Long San, Long Silat, Long Tungan and etc), Data Kakus, Data Surau, Long Beyak, Bintulu, Miri, Sungai ASAP, Long Bulan, Long Jawe and Belaga regions in Sarawak, Malaysia and the remote Apau Kayan, Bahau and Mahakam regions in Kalimantan, Indonesia. Kenyah race are divided into various tribe such as Uma Bakah, Lepo Tau, Lepu Jalan, Lepo, Tepu, Uma Kelap, Badeng(Jamok, Lepo Aga'), Bakung, Lebu Kulit, Uma Alim, Uma Timai, Uma Lasan, Lepo Ma-ot, Sambop, Lepo Ke', Lepo Ngao, Murik and etc.
Culture and Economy
The Kenyah, traditionally being swidden agriculturalists and living in long houses (uma dado'), is an umbrella term for over 40 sub-groups that mostly share common migration histories, customs and related dialects. Kenyah's people also well known of their unique culture. They lived in long house in a small community. Long house bring them to unite. Each long house is like their family where they have to choose their own leader (headman). When they have any event or celebration such as harvest festival they will normally use the long house verandah (oseh dado) to gather and usually deliver speech to guide their youngsters. Normally this harvest festival celebration (tau bio Ramay o o Ajau, pelepek uman) is really grand festival because most of them are still farmers and living in longhouses.
Religions
They give thanks to God for the incredible and great year of blessings and almost all of Kenyah peoples are Christian nowadays. Before they become Christian they believe in 'Bungan Malan Peselong Luan' ( traditional religion was a form animist-ngelan Su-i,malan su-i tai pelawat janan re tai na-o) which is like their God for protection and healing. But nowadays there's only a small number of Kenyah's people that still believe in Bungan and when they've died they believe to go to Alo Malau (heaven)with their ancestors (tepun).
Population
Statistical figures, based on the Indonesian and Malaysian national censuses collected in 2000, recorded a total of 44,350 Kenyah in East Kalimantan and 24,906 in Sarawak.[1]

Origins
The Usun Apau (aka Usun Apo) plateau(in the Peliran river valley) or Apo Kayan Highlands (a remote forested plateau in Malaysian and Indonesian border) in the present-day Indonesian province of East Kalimantan was the largest concentration site of Kenyah populations between the late 19th century to the early 1980s.
