- Description:
- The woman, who appears to be weaving a mat, could potentially be identified as Penan from her bracelets. The Western Penan were also more comfortable with leaving their children around dogs than their Eastern Penan counterparts, especially in the presence of food. However, the area is likely to be Kenyah due to craftsmanship seen in the beams of the hut.
Person/people pictured from the Western Penan and/or Kenyah indigenous groups.
