KUCHING: On Nov 16, 1924, a peacemaking ceremony in Kapit brought a formal end to tribal conflicts among the indigenous communities in Sarawak's interior.
The event brought together Iban, Kayan, Kenyah and Kajang leaders, who signed a treaty in a grand ceremony marked by customary reconciliation rituals and formal administrative protocols.
