Ot Olong-olong and Penyawung people live in the upper-stream areas of the Barito near the Mahakam river. Their livelihood is still traditional in harmony with the nature, hunting, and as nomadics moving from one region to another. They have no fixed settlement. They adhere to the old Kaharingan religion beliefs, which is a form of mixed elements of animism and dynamism.

They live in longhouses called "Betang" with sometimes as many as 50 rooms.
