The Ibans are a branch of the Dayak
peoples of Borneo.In Malaysia,most Ibans are located in Sarawak,a small portion
in Sabah and some in west Malaysia. They were formerly known during the
colonial period by the British as Sea Dayaks. Ibans were renowned for
practising headhunting and tribal/territorial expansion. A long time ago, being
a very strong and successful warring tribe, the Ibans were a very feared tribe
in Borneo. They speak the Iban language.
