Abstract

This study uses a historical-dialectical approach to address the Dayak that strengthen their identity. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the importance of the Dayak in strengthening their identity and reputation. With a newfound identity, Dayak farmers would gain recognition from both the provincial governments and the entire state of Indonesia. From now on, the Dayak would be recognized as a legitimate and valuable population.
