Secret Tribes of Borneo: Headhunters, Fire-Makers & More | Mari-Mari Cultural Village

Deep in the heart of Borneo, we explore the Mari Mari Cultural Village in Sabah, uncovering the ancient traditions of five native tribes—Lundayeh, Bajau, Dusun, Murut, and Rungus! From the legendary headhunting warriors of the Murut to the sea nomads of the Bajau, this journey takes us through the fascinating customs, survival skills, and history of these incredible communities.

In this video, you’ll not only experience fire-making, traditional tribal food, ancient tattoo rituals, and the secrets of the last headhunters of Borneo, but also learn about the rich history of each tribe—their origins, way of life, and how they have adapted over time.
