The tradition of traditional ceremonies that are always carried out in a society is an ancestral heritage that is given or transmitted from generation to generation. In this case, the community receives various messages from their ancestors through the traditional ceremony. As we can see in a traditional ceremony of a post-harvest party in Teras Nawang village, Bulungan district, North Kalimantan Province. Pemung Bangen Leppa Ajau is a traditional tradition of the Dayak Kenyah Lepu’ Tau tribe which is one of the indigenous tribes in Bulungan Regency, North Kalimantan Province.
