  • Believe it or not, sago worms are far, far more nutritious than the bags of chips you brought them. If you are wise you will eat more like them and less like an American.

    The island is divided among three countries:

    1. Brunei

    2. Indonesia(Kalimantan) and

    3. Malaysia(north borneo/sabah and sarawak)

  • really informative and interesting

  • love the video man

  • you have some great stuff here

  • I lived with these people for 9 months back in the early 60's when taking a head was still practiced. These people are among the nicest I ever met. What I see in video's like this makes me sad. There are necessary reasons for them to make money from tourists, the main one being the exploitation starting at the formation of Malaysia of their habitat.

  • these people are nice and generous to visitors..headhunter is history by the way..

  • they cut white man head during the imperialism era!

  • sago grubs, not worms

  • a LOT of protein maaaaaaan

  • @TheDougaLau please note that the piece makes clear this was a long-ago occurrence.
