Budaya Pampang (Indonesian pronunciation: [buˌdaja ˈpampaŋ], lit. 'Pampang cultural (village)'), or simply known as Pampang, is a village (kelurahan) within the district of North Samarinda, Samarinda, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. As of 2023, it was inhabited by 1,654 people, and currently has the total area of 26.77 km2. Budaya Pampang consists of 6 rukun tetangga (pillar of neighbours).[2]

Located 27.8 kilometers away from the downtowns of Samarinda, the village is notable for being an ethnic enclave inhabited by Kenyah people within the city.[3] Despite its title as a 'cultural village', it is in fact an urban village (kelurahan) instead of rural one (desa).

## History

[edit]

The majority of its inhabitants, Kenyah subgroup of Dayaks, according to traditional elder Simson Iman, had migrated from present-day Malinau and West Kutai since 1960s, after rejecting to join the newly-formed country of Malaysia. Budaya Pampang is home to Pamung Tawai Traditional Lamin, being constructed more than 50 years ago and originally inhabited by 80 families. The building has been rehabilitated once.[3]

The site has been declared by East Kalimantan government as a cultural village (desa budaya) since 1991.[4] Budaya Pampang came to be formally established as an urban village, after being separated from Sungai Siring on 12 August 2014,[1] while its formation was finally inaugurated in a festival during 7–11 January 2015.[5]

Due to its Kenyah demographic, the village's culture is heavily drawn from the ethnic group. Each year in June, Budaya Pampang holds Pelas Tahun [id] since 1999, a harvest festival mainly featuring various dances including Lemimpa and Udo' Aban, but also traditional sporting competitions.[6]
