But the successful administration of one of the larger and wilder districts, such as the Rejang or the Baram, requires that the Resident shall not be content with the zealous discharge of his many duties at his headquarters.
In the Rejang, on the other hand, large numbers of them were allowed to settle, coming in from the Saribas and the Batang Lupar in the early days of the Rajah's government.
In all the tribes of this group the social organisation is in the main similar, and this affinity is borne out by their material culture, thus they may be regarded as originally one people.

 This paper will examine the idea of dancer as a sacrificial victim within religious ritual wherein dance is offered to ...
To understand Rejang as a form of sacrifice we must first clarify what we mean by sacrifice.  Traditionally the idea of religious sacrifice is associated with an act of killing in which the victim’s death, usually an animal’s, results in some kind of gain for the sacrificers, the group of people performing the sacrifice.
In the process of creating or performing an art, the artist sought to re-create, or reveal, an aspect of the divine that he intuitively knew through subjective experience.  The result was satisfaction for both the performer and the audience, a “pure joy” (ananda) second only to the highest revelation of the Self, Brahman.
[9] The first time I watched Rejang in Batuan I couldn’t understand why the dancers weren’t performing for the audience of people, facing them.  Later I learned that the performance is for the gods and this is reflected in the way the ritual is structured.  The people are the onlookers from the sides.
