 Tenggarong, up the Mahakam river from samarinda, is the capital of the kutai regency and was once the seat of the Kutai sultanate. The Sultan's palace on the riverside is now a museum where the old royal paraphernalia are kept, as well as an excellent collection of antique Chinese ceramics. Dayak statues can be admired in the yard. A curious thing about the royal paraphernalia is that they display a strong resemblance with Java's court traditions.
Each year on 24 September, the former palace becomes a stage of dance and music performances given to celebrate the town's anniversary.

 Saving the Orangs
By Anne Russon

balikpapan orangutan Society
Ten years ago, I set off for borneo to study orangutans. I knew how closely related they were to humans, but when I actually experienced the orangutans first hand, I found the similarities fascinating.
That orangutans resemble us should not be a surprise. Orangutans are great apes, our closest living relatives on earth. They are our cousins, and it is largely because we are all "family," so to speak, that we resemble one another so closely. Because of our similarities, great apes offer one of the best avenues in existence for understanding human origins and human nature. Only four species of our cousins remain alive on earth today -- chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans -- and every one is at serious risk of extinction. If we lose them, we close an important window on ourselves. |
