-

The melanau tribe is the largest ethnic group after dayak. The Melanau tribe is categorized as the second largest tribe in Sarawak. most people melanau embraced Islam and some still embrace Christianity. but they still have the same beliefs inherited from ancestors. Melanau ethnic groups gather in coastal areas such as the northern valley of Rajang River, Igan, Mukah, Dalat, Oya, and Bintulu. The earliest community in Sarawak lives in Mukah. People in the community are mostly Christians. The Melanau people have also lived in a longhouse (built high). According to their beliefs, high houses can avoid the disaster as a result of catastrophe. However, the Melanau community today has changed their way of living by living in a village house that follows the Malay pattern. Most are built by the river and close to the beach.
