Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harriette MacDougal was an early missionary to Borneo. Arriving with her husband and children along with a handful of other missionaries, the men soon traveled into the interior of the island to plot out the land. They never returned. So begins the story of a band of intrepid women who built a mission station and later a church and school, all while raising their children in a wild outpost of headhunters. They lived their lives as a sacrifice among the people who took their husbands. It didn't matter -- they came to bring the gospel to a people who had not yet heard it! This volume contains this wonderful, shocking and inspiring story, and also a brief anthropological sketch from a few decades later. Together they give a surprisingly thorough view of a people as yet barely touched by western civilization. As such, this volume is a valuable record of the life, culture and folklore of the Dyak people of Sarawak Borneo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Folk-Lore in Borneo a Sketch In this short monograph I do not pretend to give anything more than a Sketch of the Folk-lore to be found among the Borneans. The island is large, and the people, scattered and isolated by constant inter-tribal warfare, differ one tribe from another, in language, customs and appearance almost more than do Germans, French, or English; to say that any tradition or custom is common to all the tribes, or even to all of one tribe, of Borneans, would be far too sweeping. A still greater drawback to any universality, in legend or custom, is that there is no written language, not even so much as picture-drawings on rocks to give us a clue to ancient myths or traditions.

The natives of Borneo are in a certain sense savages, but yet they are savages of a high order, possessed of a civilization far above what is usually implied by the term; they live together in what almost might be called coöperative communities, they practise the art of weaving, they forge rough implements of iron, they cultivate rice and esculent plants, and in all their work, such as house-building, boat-building, manufacture of cloth and weapons of warfare, they show an ambitious desire, and a skilful ability, to ornament their work and add, to its usefulness, pleasure to the eye.

Book excerpt: Present-day travelers visiting Borneo to see the marvelous buildings pictured in books are liable to wonder if they somehow ended up in the wrong place. Much of the architecture of Borneo and other areas of the humid tropics was never intended to last and, built as it is of wood and other organic materials, last it has not. Among Borneo's spectacular indigenous buildings, the longhouses, mortuary monuments, and other architectural forms of the interior are some of the most outstanding, and much of the renewed interest in indigenous architecture has focused on the rapidly vanishing or now extinct traditional forms of a small number of surviving examples or recreations. Drawing on the author's extensive research and travel in Borneo, this impressive and original study offers a more comprehensive account of this architecture than any previous work. Organized into two sections, the book first documents and explains traditional built forms in terms of tools and materials, the environmental context, village organization and social arrangements. This section includes a full discussion of architecture designs and symbolism, especially those dealing with life and death. The author next look
