Default Modern head-hunting

Hello,

In 1998 and 2001, there were violent conflicts in Kalimantan between local Dayak tribes and Madurese who had been settled trough the Indonesian government's transmigration programme. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asi...ic/1191865.stm
Many people were decapitated and heads were missing, so it appears that some Dayaks can still resurect the old practice if pushed too far.

Regards,
Emanuel

Hi Ben,
having the hilt remains of red hairs, I hoped it was really used (also if to me looked quite recent). However thank You for the really clarifying pics.
