N'Gaju Religion, The Conception of God Among the South Borneo People
Book •
Hans Scherer's 'N'Gaju Religion, The Conception of God Among the South Borneo People' is a detailed ethnographic account of the beliefs, rituals, and cosmology of the N'Gaju Dayak.
Drawing on fieldwork conducted between 1929 and 1939, Scherer records origin myths, deity names, ritual practices, and social-religious structures.
The work preserves primary material on how the N'Gaju conceive of the divine couple, sacred centers, and tree-origin myths.
It is valuable for comparative studies of Southeast Asian religion and for understanding localized expressions of broader mythic patterns.
Scherer's documentation remains a key reference for scholars studying Borneo indigenous religions.
