(Storm Chasing in Northern Australia for BBC Wonders of The Monsoon.)
I was staying with Iban people in Northern Borneo... the decor that we slept beneath told of a violent past where head hunting was common practice. Hanging these trophies in the longhouse is believed to bring protection from evil spirits - the braver the person who once owned the head, the more protection it bestows. We slept peacefully. #BBCEarth #EarthOnLocation #Borneo #Iban #Headhunting #Skulls #Culture #Tradition
