The Islands I Visited In Indonesia
East Kalimantan - Part 1




Starting in 1972, I went to East Kalimantan almost every year for the next fifteen years,  wandering around its  Kutai regency,  visiting the Dayak people of that area,  accompanied by a guide/translator and a cook, and carrying a movie camera, a still camera, and an audio tape recorder.  After 1975,  it was my custom to stay in the one of the two longhouses of a Dayak "village"   I had discovered.  Using that place as my base camp,   I would go to wherever I was informed  there was a happening for me to record.
