The Orang Ulu / Kayan

The Orang Ulu ethnic groups can be located in the state of Sarawak in such areas like Belaga, Bintulu, Miri, Baram, Bario, Lawas, Trusan and Limbang. It was believed that in Kuching alone, the Orang Ulu population numbered up to about one thousand – the community’s urban migration being mostly due to better employment, education and business opportunities available in Sarawak’s capital cities1. The term Orang Ulu literally translates as “people of the upper river”.
