Abstract:
The village of Long Uli is located on the banks of the Bahau River. Its inhabitants are members of the Kenyah Oma' Long (or Uma Long), the Kenyah Leppo' Ndang (or Leppo' Ntang) and there are a few families of Punan Benalui who use the forest resources in the area to make a living. Rattan, collected for sale as well as for everyday use, is one of the most important forest resources. Both raw and woven rattan are very valuable, for exchange, sale, and use, which makes it one of the economic mainstays of the community. The marketing of unprocessed rattan and woven rattan involves various social groups (village elders, local and outside rattan collectors, intermediary traders and shops).
