The Peaceful People is the story of the Penan, the jungle nomads of Sarawak, who for decades have fought for possession and preservation of their traditional forest lands. Drawing on extensive first-hand interviews, as well as the diaries and journals of explorers, botanists and colonial administrators, and the observations of missionaries, the book provides the most comprehensive account of the dynamics of Penan society to date. Written in a compelling and accessible style, the narrative tells the shocking history of the Penan, exposing massacres and murders, while recounting the nomads’ uniquely shy and peaceful way of life. In particular, the analysis focuses on the Penan’s consistently non-violent modern-day protests against rampant logging which attracted world attention in the 1980s and 1990s. The Peaceful People is essential reading for those interested in the history and culture of Borneo, the politics of logging and development, and the lives of indigenous peoples who seek new ways to survive in a hostile world.

The Penan, one of the few remaining nomadic peoples of the rain forest, live in a place of indescribable beauty -- and all around them the forest is coming down at an alarming pace. In their East Malaysian state of Sarawak, the rate of timber cut is among the highest the world has ever known. This timely book addresses in words (both narrative and quotations) and unforgettable pictures the plight of the Penan. The majority of the photographs and quotations were collected during many field trips the authors made into the interior of Sarawak. Dramatic. -- The Los Angeles Times

Over the years, Swiss photographer Tomas Wüthrich has visited Borneo many times to document the daily life of the Penan, a partially nomadic indigenous people living in the rainforests of Borneo. Their hunter-gatherer way of life in the Malaysian state of Sarawak is critically threatened by illegal logging and oil palm plantations, a fact that came to the world's attention when Swiss environmental activist Bruno Manser disappeared in the jungle without a trace in the year 2000 while campaigning for the Penan cause. In Doomed Paradise, Wüthrich paints a nuanced portrait of this unique culture through his stunning and sensitive photographs. Alongside the photographs are a selection of Penan myths, published here for the first time and collected by Canadian ethnographer, linguist, and filmmaker Ian B. G. Mackenzie, who has been researching the language and culture of the Penan since 2001. Also included is an essay by Lukas Straumann on Bruno Manser's legacy of activism on behalf of the Penan and its continued influence.

For two years Rajindra Puri lived and hunted with the Penan Benalui people in the rainforest of eastern Borneo in Indonesia. Here he reports on Penan hunting techniques, the knowledge required to be a successful hunter, and the significance of hunting for Penan communities. A hunt offers the opportunity for younger Penan to learn crucial survival skills, knowledge of the environment, local geography, genealogy, history, and beliefs and values. Songs and stories recount hunting adventures and legends, while ceremonial dances demonstrate the coordination and agility required of the expert hunter. The author makes a case for using active participant-observation, in conjunction with standard ethnobiological research methods, for documenting non-verbal knowledge. Included here are 21 months of hunting records and comprehensive appendices on game species and ethnobiological data. This work will be useful to anthropologists, conservation biologists, and those interested in Indonesian ethnobiology.

Due to large deforestation for the benefit of Malaysia's economy and advancement, the Penans, a forest-nomadic indigenous tribe from Borneo scrambles through paradigm shifts in their attempt of transition and transformation to a resettlement as they watch their homes cleared away. This phenomenon has resulted in the loss of culture and identity; causing a cultural collision between architectural traditional technology and modern technology. Forced to abandon their traditional temporary nomadic huts, the Penans now live in wooden houses and are subjected to help and support from architects due to limited knowledge and skills in building and maintaining houses. As a minority tribe, the Penans face cultural, social and political discrimination. The Malaysian government and NGOs have provided the Penans shelter; spaces devoid of their indigenous cultural and traditional values. This thesis aims to construct the notion of respect in the form of architecture through anthropological studies, appreciation of the depth of poverty as well as understanding the true meaning of nomadic architecture. Furthermore, it attempts to represent and translate nomadic architecture in permanent design principles. The project harnesses the importance of building 'process' and understanding of the methodology and building technique replicated by the nomads each time they move. My visit to one of the Penan resettlements in Borneo has given me great insight into the accessibility of local materials, modern technologies and jointing systems. Drawing on this research, a new series of hybrid jointing technology modular system was formed, inspired from old traditional lashing and new mortise and tenon junctions to regenerate a new methodology that could be replicated and represented as a model in other Penan Villages. To demonstrate and test the potential of the jointing systems, prototypes were made, developed through four different architectural typologies to investigate the potential and functions it can accommodate. This new modular jointing technology is a suggestion towards a new paradigm, an investment for the future and of political help.
