Kalangs were a community of skilled forestcutters and shifting cultivators. They were so valuable that in 1755 when the Mataram kingdom of Java split, the 6000 families of Kalangs were equally divided between the two kingdoms. Without their expertise, it would have been very difficult to harvest teak and for kings to build their palaces.
