Sabah''s Peoples
The Dusun , or Kadazan/Dusun, account for around a third of Sabah's population. Traditionally agriculturists, they inhabit the western coastal plains and the interior. Although most Dusun are now Christians, remnants of their animist past are still evident, most obviously in the harvest festival. The mainly Muslim Bajau tribe drifted over from the southern Philippines some two hundred years ago, and now constitute ten percent of Sabah's population, living in the northwest. They are agriculturists and fishermen, noted for their horsemanship and their rearing of buffalo. The Murut inhabit the area between Keningau and the Sarawak border, in the southwest. They farm rice and cassava by a system of shifting cultivation, and, at times, still hunt using blowpipes and poison darts.
