Borneo - Mari Mari Village

The Mari Mari Village was an interesting way to learn about the past. We visited traditional homes, watched demonstrations and performances, and participated in daily-life activities.

Many of the tribes were head-hunters and used the heads for some interesting purposes. This skull was protecting their food supply and  kept bad spirits away.
