Source of the Dayak lore on the divine origin of rice
The source for the paragraph on the divine origin of rice appears to be the 2022 publication mentioned below. I propose to use this source rather than an AI-generated translation from a webpage which in the near future may only be a dead link.
I propose to change the paragraph to:
The rice bird is mentioned in the local lore of the Kanayatn Dayak community in West Kalimantan (Borneo) relating to the divine origin of rice:
... which comes from a sprig of rice from Jubata (God) on an onion mountain that was stolen by a sparrow and the rice fell into the hands of ne Jaek who was wailing. It was from here that humans, in the Dayak language called Talino, began to know rice as their staple food.[1]

- If there are no objections I will change the paragraph mentioned above in one of the next few days. RobvGent (talk) 19:42, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
As there were no objections, I have made the change. RobvGent (talk) 12:58, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, Rob, please feel free to edit the page this way. This history of this version is that my student had sent me the link to the Indonesian website and I needed a quick English translation of it - therefore, the AI-tool was usefull. Of course, as soon as you find a better source, please don't hesitate to edit our text! Much appreciated.
