Dayak Maanyan, like other dayak tribes has so many myth in their lives. For example, there one myth that has been known since their great beginning.

The myth about statue called Abe. Maanyan people believe that Abe is heritage from their ancestor, and it have a magical power to show them what things is going to happening due the year. If the statue smiling, that means good year, but if it crying or sad then it will be something awefull going.

So..when Abe show a good clues, they start to begin their activities. Most of them living their live harvesting latex or rubber and farming.

When Abe shows bad, they start to find out what kind of mistakes that has been through along the years and start to pray in they faith of Kaharingan Religion.
