Edwin Gomes spent seventeen years as a missionary among the Iban, or Sea Dyaks, of Sarawak, the state ruled by the Brooke family. He describes their longhouses and manner of life, character, head-hunting, childbirth and children, marriage and burial rites, the manang healers and their religion, and his own school in the jungle.
