About Gawai Day

Gawai Day is a yearly celebration celebrated by the Dayak individuals in Sarawak, Malaysia and West Kalimantan, Indonesia on 31 May and 1 June. It is an open occasion in Sarawak and is both a religious and a social event perceived since 1957. Gawai Dayak was the idea of the radio makers Tan Kingsley and Owen Liang taken up by the Dayak people group. The British pioneer government declined to perceive Dayak Day until 1962. 
They called it Sarawak Day for the incorporation of all Sarawakians as a national day, paying little heed to ethnic root. On 1 June 1963, Datuk Michael Buma, a Betong local, facilitated the festivals of the primary Gawai Day at his home at Siol Kandis, Kuching. On 25 September 1964, Sarawak Day was gazetted as an open occasion recognizing the arrangement of the Federation of Malaysia. 
The occasion was first celebrated on 1 June 1965 and it turned into an image of solidarity, desire and seek after the Dayak people group. It is a necessary piece of Dayak social life. It is a thanksgiving day denoting an abundant reaps and an opportunity to anticipate the new cultivating season or different undertakings ahead.
