Selako a.k.a. Selakau, Salako or Silakau are the indigenous people native to the Selakau regions (Selakau district and Selakau Timur district) in Sambas Regency of West Kalimantan, Indonesia.[3] Nowadays, the Selako diaspora can be found in the neighbouring Selakau regions as well; including the districts of Pemangkat, Paloh, Tebas, Teluk Keramat, Sejangkung (especially in Perigi Limus), Sajingan Besar in Sambas Regency, the East Singkawang district (especially in Pajintan, Bagak Sahwa, Maya Sopa, and Nyarumkop) in Singkawang, the districts of Tujuh Belas and Samalantan in Bengkayang Regency, and the Lundu district in Sarawak. Selako people are sometimes classified as part of larger Dayaks community (the term used for indigenous people of Kalimantan in general), thus sometimes they are called as Selako Dayaks as well.[4][5] Their native or indigenous language is the Selako language. Like any other indigenous Dayak groups, the Selako people embraced the Kaharingan religion, but many Selakos diaspora tend to have Christians (mostly adhered to West Kalimantan Christian Church, Bornean Evangelicals, and Anglicans) and Roman Catholics faiths after the mass conversion by missionaries in the 19th century.[6]
