Dynastychief Datuk Haji Aji Abdul Rasyid gelar Kakang Demung Agung Natadiningrat of Pasir
























This sultanate in East-Kalimantan with a lot of Bugis blood in it's veins was abolished 1908 because of obstructuing cooperation with the Dutch of the sultan and chaos inside rule and dynasty.
In 2000 this prince and descendant from an important sultan was made dynastychief. After World War II he was indepence fighter, then religious specilaist and because of his enormous knowledge of local history and culture chosen to become the new dynastychief.
The dynasty is quite influential in the beautifull Pasir.
In Pasir there is a big hunger to know the local history and also to bring back more fully the local culture back in life is a big wish of Many People.
