    KADAZAN

    ORIGINS OF KADAZAN

    Kadazan ancestors were believed to came


    from present-day Yunnan in southern
    China.
    Others say that they came from Mongolia
    and mixed with Tiong-kok (Indonesian
    word refer to China as a nation).
    Some writers stated that there were northbound migrations from the south towards
    South East Asia.
    There were 2 groups which, one group was
    of dark skin with curly hair and the other
    group was said to be fair-skinned.

    A new theory had emerged that the


    migrations started from South East Asia
    where modern human arrived about
    50,000 years ago.
    According to this theory, the ancestors
    of Kadazan people would have been
    among the earliest settlers of South East
    Asia.
    It is reasonable to say that Kadazan
    early history is caught within this
    migration theories.

    Kadazan ancestors settled at a


    particular part of Borneo Island which
    later came to be known as North
    Borneo.
    When they reached there for the first
    time, they saw a majestic mountain
    rising high into the sky.

    They believed that this is the land


    where Hinokizan (God), had called
    them to settle down and call home.

    Kadazan are the largest ethnic group,


    about 80% of the people of Sabah.
    There are 27 groups of Kadazan tribe
    such as Dusun Liwan, Dusun Tindal,
    Dusun Pahu, Dusun Lotud and more.
    Each of the groups use different
    languages and dialects with various
    cultural and traditional customs.

    Because of similarities in culture and


    language with the Dusun ethnic
    groups, as well as other political
    initiatives, the new term together
    called Kadazan-Dusun was created.

    TABOOS IN KADAZAN TRIBE

    It is a bad omen if a sack of paddy


    which is being transported on the
    back of a buffalo fall to the ground.
    Riddling is a must for Kadazandusun
    culture during their harvest season. If
    the riddle was done before the
    harvest festival, it will give them a
    bad omen.

    Newly bride must not bath for they


    would become vulnerable to evilintended attacks, and wash away all
    the good luck that have been brought
    by visitors.
    Newlywed also not allowed to wander
    ouside, not even to set foot on soil for
    that first night or the children will born
    with disease.

    No one must do any kind of work on


    the day of the funeral, above all, the
    work of planting rice. It is believed that
    any work done on such an occasion can
    only bring misfortune.
    While the body is still in the house, all
    occupants must stay awake. Whoever
    fall asleep will be doused with water.

    The greatest care is taken to prevent a


    cat from jumping over the outstretched
    copse. Kadazans believe that if this
    happens, the dead man will be
    transformed into a dangerous and
    terrifying giant.
