TheUma Baka' tribe were originally from the rural center ofBorneo Island. Originally fromBahau River, the Uma Baka' people began moved out from that river system along with the Uma' Kulit people in the 18th century.[1] Although the tribe still remains inEast Kalimantan,Indonesia, some of them have moved toSarawak,Malaysia. The tribe was known as the best hunters in jungle.[citation needed] The Uma Baka' people are considered as a sub-ethnic of theKenyah people and their language isUma Baka' language, which is a form ofKenyah language dialect.[2]
Today, their lives have totally changed. They are no longer head hunters. Some of their people have become very successful in education, business, religion and politics.
