About this book
Seventeen Years Among the Sea Dyaks of Borneo is a book by Edwin Herbert Gomes. The author describes a landscape of dark green leaves and dark brown trunks and branches of trees, where the prevailing hue of tropical plants is a sombre green. The text says that the life of the Dyak is already greatly changed, and his lot improved by the introduction of just rule, law and order, and respect for human life.
The text says that a manang bali is paid much higher fees than an ordinary manang, and is often called in when others have been unable to effect a cure. The text predicts that in Borneo, as elsewhere, civilization is coming, and that all the distinctive Dyak customs will soon be things of the past.
