Rungus traditions
Traditional Rungus longhouse.
The Rungus are one of two indigenous communities in Sabah who live in longhouses. Although they belong to the Kadazandusun group, they take pride in their ethnic identity and distinctive lifestyle. Traditionally animists, the majority of this subsistence farming community have, since the 1950s, embraced Christianity. Despite the influence of modernization on their lifestyle and livelihood, they have maintained many traditions as part of their cultural heritage.
