Bakumpai or Baraki are indigenous people of Borneo and are considered as a sub-ethnic group of the Dayak with Islamic background. The Bakumpai people first settled along the Barito riverbanks in South Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan, from Marabahan to Puruk Cahu in the Murung Raya Regency.

The Bakumpai people first appeared as a newly recognized ethnic group in the census 2000 and were made up of 7.51% of the Central Kalimantan’s population, which before this the Bakumpai people were considered as part of the Dayak tribe in the 1930 census.

32

The Bakumpai people have been greatly influenced by the language, culture, customary laws and architecture of the Banjar people. Hence the Bakumpai people

and

customary laws are classified as part of Banjarese culture, but in linguistic terms the Bakumpai are closely related to the Ngaju people. They speak the Bakumpai language.

Almost all Bakumpai people practice Islam and Kaharingan, the traditional belief of the Dayak people which is relatively unseen compared to other Dayak groups. Customary ceremonies that are related to old beliefs are such as Badewa and Manyanggar Lebu rituals.
