Kadazan's Culture.

Kadazan or Kadazan-Dusun is one of the ethnic in Sabah. This ethnic has a lot of cultures and taboos. People sometimes think that this ethnic is an ancient tribe, but those things that they've made are totally cultures.
There is a few of interesting cultures and belief of Kadazan-Dusun such as:

• The Kadazan-Dusun Concept Of Creation.

It is said that in the beginning of life, "Kinorohingan", the God of the Kadazan-Dusuns and his wife Suminudu had one and only daughter known as "Huminodu". Kinorohingan in his preparation for his creation of the Kadazan-Dusuns sacrificed his only daughter, Huminodun and planted, as if they were seeds, the various parts of her body. Rice then as staple food of not only the Kadazan-Dusun but also most Asians grew out of Huminodun's flesh. Other parts of her body became other varieties of foods for the people. Padi, because it is part of Huminodun, embodies a sacred spirit namely "Bambaazon" or in some dialects "Bambarayon" and so yearly during Harvest festival or "Kaamatan", the Kadazan-Dusuns regard it befitting to hold a feasting celebration to honour Bambaazon. In turn the Bambaazon is believed to better the people's harvests year after year.

• Mount Kinabalu (Akin Nabalu - "The Ancestor's Mountain") - Sacred Mountain for the Kadazan-Dusun.

Kadazan-Dusun believed that when they died, their spirit will be resting at Mount Kinabalu or "Aki Nabalu", a place that Kinorohingan has given them to rest in peace. Locals believe that Ritual Ceremony or "sogit" should be practise every year to pray and or to naturalised the guiding spirit. Before you climb Mount Kinabalu, you should ask for permission to the Aki spirit - the ancestor's spirit , that you're going to visit their place and ask for a safe journey. However, nowadays the young generation don't even do these.

• The Ceremony of Magavau

The ceremony of Magavau begins just after sunset. The Priestess and her attendants sit on the floor in the living room and start chanting ancient prayers to Bambaazon. This goes on far into the night thereafter the priestess and attendants stand up and circle slowly around the living room, still chanting. After a while they start to sing Songs of praise to Bambaazon. At this stage the men join in the circle singing together with the priestess and attendants. As they sing the stamp their feet on the floor in rhythmic timing and at regular intervals uttering the awe-in-sparing "Pangkis" which is the triumphant cry of the Kadazans. This ceremony will go on until break of dawn when preparations are made to feed Bambaazonn with the "habot" (fermented rice, with ingredients similar to tapai, prepared especially for the Bambaazon the previous evening) and tapai. The ceremony ends with merry making as a mark of thanksgiving. Bambaazon stays in the house, guarding the padi in the barn, until the next planting season when another ceremony known as "MONOGIT" is performed to take her to the padi fields.
