Tansang Kenyalang, which literally means Hornbill’s Nest, is the name of Sengalang Burong’s Domain after their separation from the human world. This domain is situated in the dome of the sky.
Aki Lang Sengalang Burong, Aki Jugu Menaul Tuntong, who takes the shape of a Brahminy Kite (pictured above) in his earthly appearance to man, was the eldest of the seven siblings six boys and a girl, born to a fable hero, Raja Jembu. Between them, the seven children posesses devine power; The smith Selampandai, both a creator of man and healer, could forge human beings as well as iron. Also known as Selampetoh or Selampeta; the daughter, Ini Inee or Ini Inda became the supreme doctor, and in turn imparted her skills to another brother, Menjaya Raja Manang, who was consecrated as the first “transformed” or transvestite shaman healer. Another sister is Bhiku Bunsu Petara who lives on top of a hill and she is a high priestess of the supreme creative diety named Bunsu Petara. She often attends mankind’s festivals as his god’s emissary. Anda Mara also known as Ganggang Ganggong is the Iban god of material wealth. Raja Simpulang Gana is the owner of earth upon whom all agricultural success depends and thus makes him and Sengalang Burong as the most honoured upon by the Ibans. Sengalang Burong, being the eldest brother, is not only paramount in warfare, but more importantly, it is Sengalang Burong, through a complicated system of omens, who regulates communication between gods and human.
God gives instruction to mankind by sending birds or animals with messages sanctioning or disapproving the activities of humans. These principal messengers are eight omen birds, seven of whom are sons-in-law, and the eighth, a client, of Sengalang Burong. On either side of Sengalang Burong’s central longhouse apartment are the rooms of his sons-in-law; Ketupong, Beragai and Pangkas on the right side, with Bejampong, Embuas and Kelabu Papau on the left side. Burong Malam (literally means “Night Bird” which is actually a cricket) lives separately with his wife, Endu Chempaka Tempurong Alang, who was expelled from Tansang Kenyalang as punishment for her incestous relationship with his nephew, Sera Gunting. She was the youngest daughter of Sengalang Burong.
