The Baram Regatta
The main objective of the Baram Regatta was to substitute for old bloody-feuds and to persuade the tribes to aid the government in keeping the peace. To suppress fighting and head-hunting, the then Resident of Baram, Charles Hose organized an annual race for the war-canoes of all the villagers n April 1899. All the longhouses in the Baram and Tinjar were informed. They included the Kenyahs of the Baram, the Lirongs of the Tinjar and Madangs of the central highlands as well as a number of Ibans.
The Baram Regatta was first introduced about 109 years ago where it has become a much awaited popular event until today. It was introduced with the intention to preserve harmony and enhance unity.
