The Legend of Kaamatan

The Legend of Kaamatan


Kinoingan/Kinorohingan (God) and his wife Suminundu had a beautiful daughter Huminodun. The people of Sabah were starving, so Kinoingan sacrificed Huminodun. Out of her body came rice seeds which grew bountifully. That's why Kadazans have beauty contests during these celebrations: an utterly unique attribute. The Unduk Ngadau (beauty queen, literally means "heart of the sun") is supposed to embody all the qualities Huminodun had: beauty, grace, strength and bravery.
On Kaamatan day (usually end of May) priestesses called Bobohizan or Bobolian perform the rituals to appease the rice spirit called Bambaazon or Bambarayon. They would walk in a line and perform what is called Magavau. It is marked by chantings and going into trances. In private, some of these people claim that they can "walk" more than 100 miles in 10 minutes, or that sharp objects wouldn't hurt them.

Much merry making usually follows. The most unique ingredient of the celebrations is the serving of rice wine called Kinomol. The heavy drinkers would go "mogolimpasa" and would end up "pounsorop". Although Kinomol is the most well known of the local brew, there are many other not so well known, like Bahar (coconut wine), Lihing/Hiing (a stronger version of Kinomol: possibly up to 30% alcohol content) or Montoku.
