Rumah Panjang usually build at hillside. One of the example is
Rungus longhouse called vinatang. This is a proud moment for the Rungus because
it reflects the unique characteristics that exist in their nations. This long
house, which is typically 300 feet long, usually built on a hill and raised .
Under a longhouse space is used to keep animals such as chickens, pigs , and
buffalo in addition to functioning as a monument to outside attacks . According
to Rutter (1929), In the mountains or the interior of Borneo , the indigenous
population of the village is represented by the long house which serves as a
monument to protect its residents . The indigenous village is self-sufficient,
self-reliant and independent of the outside world.
