This book is a pioneering study of the indigenous people of Borneo and Formosa (now Taiwan) by Dutch missionary William Lobscheid. He describes the Dayak people's belief systems and rituals, and their encounters with European colonizers. The book also includes a detailed history of Dutch colonialism in Formosa. Lobscheid's observations are an invaluable resource for scholars of anthropology and religious studies.
