Description
Summary:Sehingga masa kini, sesetengah orang Kadazandusun masih mewarisi cerita mitos dan legenda daripada nenek moyang mereka. Berdasarkan teks-teks verbatim hasil daripada kerja lapangan dan koleksi mitos dan legenda yang telah diterbitkan, penyelidikan ini cuba mendekati persepsLorang Kadazandusun terhadap aspek-aspek seperti kemunculan Tuhan/dewa-dewijmakhluk mitos diikuti dengan penciptaan alam semesta, asal manusia pertama (premordial man), kosmologi, kepercayaan, tahyul, pembentukan suku, pembukaan petempatan baru1 dan unsur-unsur kehebatan nenek moyang Kadazandusun. Persepsi masa silam orang Kadazandusun dalam aspek-aspek yang disebut di atas juga dibandingkan dengan persepsi masa silam pelbagai suku dan bangsa lain. To date, within the Kadazandusun community, myths and legends are still being passed on from one generation to another via oral traditions. Based on verbatim texts obtained through field works as well as in published accounts of Kadazandusun myths and legends, this thesis attempts to read the perception of the Kadazandusuns in terms of aspects such as the origins of gods, the creation of the universe, the origin of premordial man, cosmology, beliefs, superstitions, formation of various tribes and settlements and finally the superiority of the Kadazandusun ancestors. A comparison of the above mentioned perception with those of other tribes and races has also been included as part of the discussion.
