Punan Ba or
Punan is an ethnic group found in
Sarawak,
Malaysia. They are distinct, unrelated to the
Penan and also the other so called Punan found in
Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of
Borneo. Their name stems from two rivers along the banks of which they have been living time immemorial. They do have other names:
Mikuang Bungulan or
Mikuang and
Aveang Buan. But those terms are only used ritually these days.
