Among the indigenous peoples of Sarawak, outside influences have led to many changes over time. The Iban tribal culture in Sarawak centred on the concept of the warrior and the ability to take heads from other tribes in battle. This practice, central as it was to the Iban people, was made illegal under James Brooke's rule and ultimately faded away although reminders of the practice are still seen in some long houses.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Metom |first1=Lily |title=Emotion Concepts of the Ibans in Sarawak |date=31 January 2013 |publisher=Patridge Singapore |isbn=978-1-4828-9731-9 |page=22 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cX3XAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA22 |access-date=12 January 2016 |quote=Nevertheless, all these ancient customs pertaining to headhunting are no longer observed in these modern days.}}</ref> Two other tribal peoples of the Sarawak Highlands, the Kelabit and Lun Bawang, have seen fundamental changes to their ethnic identities as a direct result of their conversion to Christianity. One major change was the shift in the focal point of their social interactions from the traditional long house to the local church. Their religious devotion has also helped shape their worldview outside of their village, particularly in response to change.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Platzdasch |first1=Bernhard |last2=Saravanamuttu |first2=Johan |title=Religious Diversity in Muslim-majority States in Southeast Asia: Areas of Toleration and Conflict |date=6 August 2014 |publisher=[[Institute of Southeast Asian Studies]] (ISEAS) |isbn=978-981-4519-64-9 |page=383 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7ThpBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA383 |access-date=26 December 2015}}</ref> For the [[Penan people]], one of the last tribes to still be practising a nomadic lifestyle within the jungle, outside influence, particularly education, has resulted in a significant decline in the population that practice the nomadic lifestyle.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Kaur |first1=Jeswan |title=Penan slowly abandoning their nomadic way of life |url=http://www.bt.com.bn/life/2007/12/16/penan_slowly_abandoning_their_nomadic_way_of_life |access-date=26 December 2015 |newspaper=The Brunei Times |date=16 December 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151226090855/http://www.bt.com.bn/life/2007/12/16/penan_slowly_abandoning_their_nomadic_way_of_life |archive-date=26 December 2015}}</ref> Others settle down after intermixing with members of different tribes, such as the Orang Ulu.<ref>{{cite news |title=Equal treatment for Penan community |url=http://www.theborneopost.com/2014/03/01/equal-treatment-for-penan-community/ |access-date=26 December 2015 |newspaper=The Borneo Post |date=1 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151226091139/http://www.theborneopost.com/2014/03/01/equal-treatment-for-penan-community/ |archive-date=26 December 2015}}</ref> One direct result of this diversity in cultures, engendered by a policy of tolerance to all races, is the increasing numbers of tribal peoples marrying not only other Sarawakian tribes, but also to Chinese, Malays as well as citizens of European or American descent.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Switow |first1=Michael |title=Interracial marriage blossoms in Malaysia |url=http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/0209/p13s02-lifp.html |access-date=12 January 2016 |newspaper=[[The Christian Science Monitor]] |date=9 February 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150930105909/http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/0209/p13s02-lifp.html |archive-date=30 September 2015}}</ref> The indigenous tribes of Sarawak traditionally used oratory to pass on their culture from one generation to the next;<ref name="Oral traditions">{{cite book |last1=Pandian |first1=A |last2=Ching Ling |first2=L |last3=Ai Lin |first3=T |title=New Literacies: Reconstructing Language and Education |date=16 October 2014 |publisher=Cambridge Scholars Publishing |isbn=978-1-4438-6956-0 |pages=95β97|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gzxQBwAAQBAJ&pg=PA97 |access-date=1 January 2016 |chapter=Chapter VII β Developing Literacy and Knowledge, Preservation skills among Remote Rural Children}}</ref><ref group=note>Pandian, 2014. it became the primary means of passing culture, history, and valued traditions. ... in the fact that oral literature is actualised only in performances; (page 95)</ref> examples of these traditional practices include the Iban's [[Ngajat]] dances,<ref>{{cite web |title=Tarian Ngajat Identiti Istimewa Masyarakat Iban (Ngajat dances a special identity for the Ibans) |url=http://pmr.penerangan.gov.my/index.php/budaya/6645-tarian-ngajat-identiti-istimewa-masyarakat-iban-.html |publisher=Jabatan Penerangan Malaysia (Malaysian Ministry of Information) |access-date=31 December 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150425041224/http://pmr.penerangan.gov.my/index.php/budaya/6645-tarian-ngajat-identiti-istimewa-masyarakat-iban-.html |archive-date=25 April 2015}}</ref> ''Renong'' (Iban vocal repertory),<ref>{{cite web |last1=Nie |first1=C.L.K |last2=Durin |first2=A |title=Renong, An Iban Vocal Repertory (Conference paper) |url=http://ir.unimas.my/2557/ |publisher=Universiti Malaysia Sarawak |access-date=31 December 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151231081606/http://ir.unimas.my/2557/ |archive-date=31 December 2015}}</ref> ''Ensera'' (Iban oral narratives),<ref name=Ibanmalaysian/><ref group=note>Postill, 2006. ... four were oral narratives ...

Thus, on 15 September 1958, the [[Borneo Literature Bureau]] was inaugurated with a charter to nurture and encourage local literature while also supporting the government in its release of documentation, particularly in technical and instructional manuscripts that were to be distributed to the indigenous peoples of Sarawak and Sabah. As well as indigenous languages, documents would also be published in English, Chinese and Malay. In 1977, the bureau came under the authority of the federal government language planning and development agency, the [[Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka]] (DBP), which advocated publication only in Malay ultimately causing the demise of fledgling indigenous literature.<ref name=Ibanmalaysian/><ref group=note>Postill, 2006; ... to encourage local authorship and meet local needs ...
