This paper discusses the move of some members of the Dayak tribe from their old homes in the Borneo highlands to a new area by the coast. Their shifting-cultivator style of agriculture has been modified due to the availability of outboard motors, machine-hulled rice, and chainsaws. These machines
- provide material advantages for the Dayak people,
- present more potential for environmental degradation if used indiscriminately, and
- tend to disempower women because of their weight (only men can easily handle them).
