Momolianism

Momolianism is followed by the Kadazan-Dusun, Murut and Rungus peoples of Sabah in northern Borneo. It grew out of the first ancestors' dealings with nature and the spirits at Nunuk Ragang, the legendary ancestral home, and it was woven into the unwritten laws of custom known as adat.

The creator was worshipped as Kinorohingan, and in one telling Kinoingan and his wife Suminundu are the first pair. The knowledge was handed down by priestesses, the bobolian, who healed the sick. Breaking the rules brought plague and famine on the whole community until the chief punished the offender.

When famine threatened, the maiden Huminodun, daughter of Kinoingan and Suminundu, let herself be sacrificed, and her body grew into the food plants that saved her people. The dead went to Nabahu, now Mount Kinabalu.
