Default Modern head-hunting
Hello,

In 1998 and 2001, there were violent conflicts in Kalimantan between local Dayak tribes and Madurese who had been settled trough the Indonesian government's transmigration programme. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asi...ic/1191865.stm
Many people were decapitated and heads were missing, so it appears that some Dayaks can still resurect the old practice if pushed too far.

Regards,
Emanuel
