Description

Never before has the Dayak culture been described from the inside, by an indigenous woman born and raised in the rainforest listening to the stories and legends of her tribe, who are famous as the “head- hunters of Borneo.” In this vivid memoir – that speaks to readers everywhere about the powerful effects of change – Riska tells us what it means to move in one’s lifetime from a rainforest culture to the modern world.
