| Abstract | The Rungus are a Dusunic speaking people of northern Borneo inhabiting the Kudat Division of Sabah, Malaysia. The estimated 1990 population of the Rungus Dusun is 25,000. Traditional subsistence was based on the cultivation in swiddens by the domestic families of dry rice, maize, cassava, and a variety of vegetables, melons, and pineapples. A domestic family raised pigs, chickens, and occasionally a water buffalo. This file contains 14 documents. All are written by members of the Appell family, who carried out field work there during the years 1959-1960, 1961-1963, 1986, 1987, 1990, and 1992. The major ethnography is G.N. Appell's dissertation (1965). In subsequent articles he writes about Rungus social structure, property system, and ritual practices; Dusun language groups; the domestic developmental cycle and residence; the Rungus cognatic social system; the impact of modernization; Rungus sexual behavior; and the impact of Christianity on Rungus conservation practices. Laura Appell's works address Rungus gender relations, menstruation, and Rungus female spirit mediums. Their daughter's work discusses Malaysian latah behavior. |
