Long Sait
selungan
- Description:
- The woman in the photograph was from Long Sait and has passed away, although her descendants are still alive. Her Selungan bracelets indicate that she is Penan (Paka). Nevertheless, the chair seems to have come from a different ethnic group. She was given clothing as a child (that her elders lacked).
Person/people pictured from the Eastern Penan indigenous group.
