are the ones who enforce the rules of their
tribal law, the adat.
These Tuai Rumah, are prestigious people
who have proven their worth to the other
members of the longhouse, and thus they
are allowed to rule over others.
These elders, alongside the Tuai Burong;
the religious leaders who are sometimes
the Tuai Rumah themselves, are responsible
for enforcing the adat rules surrounding
funerals and mourning taboos.
No house may claim to be inferior to, or
superior over any other rumah.
