- Description:
- The location of this photograph can be identified as the secondary forest due to the size of the trees and vegetation, which grow in very close proximity. Leaves are also easily grown in shrub areas. The family depicted was likely nomadic, while the hut is not of Eastern Penan origin and is deep in the forest. The roots shown could also be Western Penan.
Person/people pictured from the Penan and/or Western Penan indigenous groups.
- Notes:
- Potentially Western Penan.
