"The Datun Julud or hornbill dance is an Orang Ulu traditional women's dance that is popular among the Kenyah tribe of Sarawak.

It was once performed during communal celebrations such as the one to greet returning warriors of a headhunting raid, or during the annual celebration that marks the end of a rice harvest season.

The Datun Julud was said to have been created by a Kenyah prince called Nyik Selung, to symbolise happiness and gratitude."
