:''IBAN is also an acronym for International Bank Account Number'' The Ibans were formerly known during the colonial period by the British as Sea Dayaks and are a branch of the Dayak peoples of Borneo. At the time a fearsome warrior race, the Iban were renowned for practising headhunting and piracy. Today the Iban population is concentrated in Sarawak, Brunei, and part of Indonesia. The Ibans live in longhouses, ''rumah panjai'', [http://www.geocities.com/ufloor/penom.html]but today's longhouses are modern (that is, with electricity and lots of other modern facilities). Younger Ibans are mostly found in urban areas, and visit their hometowns during the holidays. The Iban were traditionally animist, however, the majority are now Christian. In 2003, the Iban Bible, the 'Bup Kudus', was temporarily banned. The reason given for this ban was that the Bup Kudus contained the word Allah Taala, which referred to God. The use of the word Allah was supposedly the reason for the controversy, because the God referred to in the Bup Kudus was the Christian God and not Allah as the Muslims know it. This may have been seen by the authorities as an error, an insult, or a potential source of confusion. Significant festivals include the rice festival Gawai Dayak, and the spirit festival Gawai Antu. The Gawai Dayak festival is celebrated every year on the 1st of June, at the end of the harvest season. On this day, the Ibans get together to celebrate, often visiting each other. The Iban traditional dance, the ''ngajat'', is performed with the accompaniment of the ''taboh'', the name of the Ibans' traditional music. ''Pua kumbu'', the Iban traditional cloth, would be used to decorate houses. ''Tuak'', which is rice wine, would be served to guests.
