Selimbau

Selimbau lies in the upper Kapuas country of western Borneo, near the lakes and wetlands of Sentarum. A Malay Muslim polity developed here among the river settlements of the interior. Its rulers' connections reached other centers along the Kapuas, including Sintang and Sambas, while nearby lake communities fished waters that rose and fell with the seasons. The river carried people and goods between the uplands and the western coast.
