The Regional Craft Council of Kabupaten Kapuas Hulu, under the guidance of Dewan Kerajinan Nasional (Dekranasda), is known for promoting traditional woven textiles, particularly Tenun Sidan and Tenun Sungkit. These handcrafted textiles are made using natural dyes sourced from local plants such as kratom and bunggur leaves. The council supports local artisans by providing training, marketing assistance, and participation in national exhibitions like Kriya Nusa and INACRAFT. They aim to preserve the cultural heritage while improving economic opportunities for weavers in Kapuas Hulu.
