	Terralingua -- Discussion Paper #10
		My focus here is on the Murut of Sabah, a tribe with whom I had the privilege to live for a few months last year while travelling, and with whom I still try to spend any free time I can get, in a never- ending thirst to learn more about their life and their surroundings.
		Living in a time of transition, the Murut have already abandoned many of their traditions and forgotten an age-old knowledge, a treasure beyond any measurable value, accumulated during their life when they were "alone" in the universe of the jungle.
		The Murut are simple; the education brought to them is simple and does not teach them a global view — what for, anyway; the global view is not needed, they go hunting again, they are merry and life just goes on in relative peace.

		The evening will, of course, be accompanied by rice wine (Tapai), which the Muruts take seriously, solemnly sitting down to a huge jar which is topped up for each drinker.

		Muruts, a Dayak tribe of Northern Borneo, were once notorious headhunters and were rallied by the allied forces to help fight the Japanese in World War II.
		They live in the forest and Muruts are still a lot like them." I don't ask any questions about the Penan because I don't want anyone knowing my intentions and where it is exactly I am going, but the Penan are the last hunter and gatherers in Borneo.
		This is their custom and despite the growing modernity of Murut territory, they still cling to their traditional ways as much as possible.

		Woolley’s observations of the Murut lifestyle in the early 20th century cover a range of topics from betrothal and marriage ceremonies to the undoubtedly painful beautification practice of teeth filing.
		Woolley takes great pains to explain the various intricacies involved in taboos observed during pregnancies and hunting raids: naming a child appropriately was not as easy a task as one would think, as were the customs related to death, burial and mourning.
		Although G.C. Woolley has long been regarded as an authority on Murut customs and traditions, his observations might to some extent be regarded as too general in the face of the variety of laws and customs practiced by Timogun Muruts in different localities.
