Culture in defined as The totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought. It can also be defined as these patterns, traits, and products considered as the expression of a particular period, class, community, or population by the website http://www.answers.com/topic/culture#ixzz1GMkp1icP

As a group we have decided to bring to light the kadazan culture that originated from Sabah, Malaysia that at point in time was known as an indigenous culture. Due to the various similarities in culture and language between the Kadazans and the Dusun ethnic group, they have unified both the etnicities to coin the term Kadazan-Dusun. They make up the largest group in Sabah, Malaysia.
