Muruts
The Muruts are an indigenous ethnic group primarily found in the northern region of Borneo, particularly in the states of Sabah and Sarawak in Malaysia. They are known for their rich cultural heritage, which includes traditional music, dance, and crafts. The Muruts traditionally practiced agriculture, hunting, and gathering, relying on the forest for their livelihood.
Historically, the Muruts were known for their headhunting practices, which have since ceased. Today, many Muruts have embraced modern lifestyles while still preserving their cultural identity. They celebrate various festivals, such as the Pesta Kaamatan, which showcases their customs and traditions.
