A tribe in North Borneo, officially Sabah.
This 1953 volume describes the Dusun people of the Tempasuk region in what was formerly North Borneo.
First published in 1929, this book sets out to systematically describe the non-Muslim peoples of Sabah. Although today's readers may balk at instances of cultural chauvinism that were typical of the author's era and society, the book nonetheless remains an invaluable source of information on various aspects of Sabahan society ranging from traditional warfare, headhunting, and jungle and river craft to popular folklore and music. This unusual text is enhanced by more than 75 photographs and illustrations.
The British North Borneo Chartered Company administered the Malayan state of Sabah from 1881 to 1945. Ivor Evans served there as a company cadet and published his district officer's memoir in 1922. Reflecting his affectionate, if paternalistic, concern for the territory and its people, this account brims with information about Borneo's immediate past, much of which still remains in the Sabah of today.
