Information needed

[edit]

Where did the information come from in the article? I lived with the Punans. They are nomadic - They do live on either side of the Borneo/Indonesian border - and the photograph does not appear to be a Punan who are all invariably covered in tattoos Ron Barker 18:19, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Transferred from the main article by Calvinaj: "There is still lack of literatures on Punan peoples. Available information about these peoples were often sourced from either passing notes written by Brooke and Colonial administrators not in-depth scholarly research. The earliest? literature on Punan is probably one written by Eduardo Beccari, an Italian botanist and traveller in 1876?. In the late 1950s, Rodney Needham, Tom Harrisson, de Martinoir wrote a brief notes on Punan people they either personally met or heard from their guides along the Rajang river. Because of the lack of information many have confused them for Penan and also the Punan of Kalimantan. In Sarawak for example the Punan was wrongly classified as Penan by the National Registration Department in the late 1990. They are also often confused for a politically coined term such as "Kajang" and "Orang Ulu". As such the Punan through their association Punan National Association is willing to collaborate with both foreign and local scholars who interested in doing social, economic research among the communities." -Jeblat (talk) 02:24, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
