EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the late 19th century, two Dyak women from the island of Borneo tenderly care for a young baby. The women, both dressed in traditional attire, exude a sense of warmth and nurturing as they cradle the infant between them. The older woman wears a conical hat, known as a jaapi, which is a distinctive feature of Dyak women's clothing. The women's expressions are serene, reflecting the deep connection they share with their child and their cultural heritage. The Dyak people are an indigenous ethnic group native to Borneo, the third largest island in the world. Borneo is home to over 40 distinct ethnic groups, each with its unique customs, languages, and traditions. The Dyak people are known for their skillful use of blowpipes and their intricate wooden carvings. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of Dyak women during a time when the world was undergoing significant change. The late 1800s marked the beginning of European colonialism in Borneo, and the region was undergoing rapid modernization. The Dyak people, like many other indigenous communities, faced significant challenges as their traditional way of life was disrupted. Despite these challenges, the Dyak people have continued to preserve their cultural heritage and traditions. Today, they are recognized as an important part of Borneo's rich cultural tapestry, and their art and crafts are celebrated around the world. This photograph serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength of indigenous communities and the importance of preserving their cultural heritage for future generations.
