Putri Mayang Sari's leadership focuses on people's welfare, food security, and the implementation of the traditional Dayak Maanyan government system. This mythical story also contains religiosity, social, political and economic values ​​in ritual practices, inter-religious tolerance, an inclusive government system, and an emphasis on food security in the Maanyan Dayak community. The process of recreating the short story Putri Mayang shows creative efforts in reinterpreting the myth. Even though there are variations in interpretation, some short stories are still tied to the setting and characters of the original myth.

The creation of short stories is a refreshing form of creativity in the cultural heritage of the Dayak Maanyan people.
