Title: Dayak Canoe Houses
Post by: marianas_gamer on August 14, 2020, 12:26:00 AM

Fellow Adventurers,
My Google Fu has failed me.  Across the Pacific indigenous people housed, protected, and worked on and maintained their canoes in canoe houses.  I have to assume that was the case with Dayak peoples as well. However, except for a picture of a modern longhouse that extends over water and shelters some canoes I have been unable to find any depictions of historic Dayak canoe houses. Can anybody help me on this?  My fall back position is to construct a thatched pole barn. Many thanks.
Lon

Thanks for giving it a go Juergen! I have seen enough pictures of canoe houses across the Pacific that I shouldn't be too off. It will just have to be long.

Found a few older Dayak houses.
You might find what you're looking for, but no specific kanoe houses...

However, a very nice picture of some decorations you can use (headhunters)

Lon, would any of these work for you in a pinch? With some modifications of course.
