The Murut are an indigenous ethnic group primarily found in the northern region of Borneo, particularly in the states of Sabah and Sarawak in Malaysia and parts of Indonesia. They are known for their rich cultural heritage, which includes traditional music, dance, and crafts. The Murut people traditionally practiced agriculture, hunting, and gathering, relying on the forest for their livelihood. Historically, the Murut were known for their headhunting practices, which have since ceased. Today, many Murut people have embraced modern lifestyles while still preserving their cultural identity. They speak the Murut language, which belongs to the Austronesian language family, and participate in various community activities that celebrate their traditions and customs.
