Kelabit girl gossiping in one of the inner rooms


 At Bario,in the heart of Kelabit country,a group of Kelabit girl gossiping in one of the inner rooms.There is little privacy in longhouse life at the best of times but ecspecially in this the case in Kelabit houses where  there are no walls between the various family r the rooms.Like the Muruts,the kelabits girl wear head caps but a slightly different pattern.
