Population / The Kadazan / Dusun
The largest
ethnic group in Sabah, the Kadazans/Dusuns make up about one
third of the population, and are found mainly on the West
Coast. The Kadazans/Dusuns are prosperous agricultural people
and are the main rice producers of Sabah, though now many
have gone into different professions. Their system of beliefs
revolves around their rice-planting and harvesting with female
priestesses called bobohizan presiding over the rituals.
The many sub-groups of the Kadazans / Dusuns include the Rungus,
Lotud, Tambanuo, Kimarangan, Sanayou,
Minokok and Tenggera.
