VERY few Sarawakians know or have heard of the Berawan community, which is one of the smallest ethnic groups in the state.
With a population of barely some 750, the Berawans are found in two settlements in Marudi district in the northern region.
They are from the 61-door Kajan Sigeh longhouse in Long Teru and the 20-door Meran longhouse in Kampung Loagan Benut.
The Berawans, according to the Sarawak Forestry, are the only natives given privileges inside the Loagan Benut National Park to fish, collect forest produce and cultivate their native customary rights (NCR) land.
