Salaam readers,
I have written about the
similarities that exist between the Malay and Dusun ethnic. You may refer to the previous entry HERE. Do you have any
suggestions on that matter? This time we will see the similarities that may
exist between the Dusun and the Bunun ethnic (Taiwan). I got the information from
THIS resource and thought of sharing it with you.
Check this out.
Years ago, I heard talks about how KadazanDusun’s culture and rituals are quite similar to that of a tribe in Taiwan. It suggested a possible common ancestry. I thought nothing more of it but today, perhaps I got too much free time on hand, I revisited that theory. Surfed the net, read articles, read forums.
From herein, I will refer KadazanDusun as Dusun because the former is long and I’m too lazy to type long names. In anycase, KadazanDusun is a recent coinage, a marriage of the tribe name of Kadazan and Dusun by our leaders for unification purposes. I’m not here to discuss kadazanDusun, if you want to know more about the background of the name, I suggest you visit Kadazan Dusun Cultural Association’s website.
