A Proto-Malay ethnic group living in central Borneo, practicing slash-and-burn agriculture, mainly upland rice. Estimated population: 40,000 (1975). Most of them live in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. They are culturally closely related to the neighboring Kayan people, and are sometimes grouped together as the Kayan-Kenya ethnic group, but they themselves clearly recognize their differences in language and customs. Like other ethnic groups in Borneo, they live in longhouses (long-house-style dwellings on stilts), but the Kenya people combine several longhouses together to form a settlement.

ボルネオ島中央部で陸稲を中心とする焼畑農耕を営むプロト・マレー系の民族。推定人口約4万(1975)。多くはインドネシアの東カリマンタン州に住む。文化的に隣接するカヤン族と近い関係にあり,カヤン・クニャー民族群として一括されることもあるが,彼ら自身は,はっきりと言語,慣習の違いを認めている。ロングハウス(長屋形式の高床式住居)に住むことはボルネオの他の民族と同様だが,クニャー族では数軒のロングハウスを合わせて一つの集落を形成する。
