Abstract
This study aims to describe the knowledge system of the Ribun Dayak tribe about their forest in West Kalimantan. The knowledge system of the Dayak Ribun community consists of knowledge of the community, knowledge of sources of livelihood, and knowledge of belief/religion. The research subjects were the Dayak Ribun tribe in Parindu District, Sanggau Regency, West Kalimantan. The approach used in this research is an ethnographic approach. Data collection uses direct observation techniques, in- depth interviews, and documentation studies. Based on the results of this study, it can be explained that the Ribun Dayak tribe has a unique knowledge system; First, knowledge of farming based on natural phenomena. Second, knowledge in the livelihood/livelihood system through shifting cultivation. Third, knowledge of belief systems and religion, even though they have embraced Catholicism and Protestantism, but they have not abandoned the belief system of traditions, customs, and customary law which still functions as social control.
