culture of sarawak people..
Last month, I have interview one of
my friends who came from Sarawak. The reasons why I interview her is because i
am really interested about her culture. Before this, she always talks about her
people and culture in Sarawak. That’s why I’m become interested to choose her.
I want to investigate about her culture and what make her culture differ from
my culture. It’s very important for me to understand about other culture
because it can help me a lot in multicultural counselling in the future. So, i
tried to deal with her. She agreed to be interview by me.
A few days later, i had meet her at
the cafe. I ask her to tell about her culture and people in the Sarawak. She
shared a lot of story regarding Sarawak to me. She said there are a lots of
ethnic group in the Sarawak and each of the ethnic have their own distinct
language, culture and lifestyle.The major ethnic group on this land iban ethnic
and she is one of them. and it followed by the Chinese, Bidayuh, Melanau and
other native tribes of Sarawak.in term of religion, there are variety of
religion that practiced by people in Sarawak for example Islam, Christianity,budha
and animism. But, the largest religion in the Sarawak is Christian.
She said that most malay people live in village and
most of them work as fisherman. Some of them have moved to the city to work
with government or private sector. She said that iban people used to live in
longhouses but she not live in the longhouse. Her family have moved to the city
because her father works as a teacher at the city. After that, i asked her what
is the famous food that representative Sarawak people. She said that iban
people famous with food that they called tuak. She said tuak is a sweet rice
that served during big celebrations and festive occasions.
Besides that, Sarawak also have a lots of festivals
such as gawai dayak and gawai kenyalang. I asked her to explain about one of
the festival. She said gawai dayak is also known as harvest festival. they will celebrate this festival every year.
This festival is related to their religious belief system. They believe that
that ritual is connected with rice cultivation, and
with the cycle of life.
after that, i found out that
its very interesting to know about other people culture. She also really
excited to told about the culture in Sarawak. We decide to meet again in
another day in order to discuss more about her culture in Sarawak.
