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.
