JD.floyd pictures: <b>Penampang</b> Harvest Festival 2012 Posted: 23 May 2012 05:47 PM PDT A bit about Penampang The name Penampang in contemporary usage refers more often to the district, with the town of Donggongon as the main town within the district. Donggongon means 'shelter' or 'rest area' in the native Kadazan language, referring to its historical role as a stop-over for people from the hills who journeyed down the coast for trade. Penampang is often considered a stronghold of the Kadazan community, and the main centre for their political and cultural development. The Kadazandusun Cultural Association (KDCA) community hall hosts many of Kadazan's traditional festivities, chief among them the annual Kaamatan or 'harvest festival', their most important cultural event. [wikipedia] Penampang Harvest Festival 2012 May is a busy month for the Kadazan, Dusun and Murut ethnic groups, as this is the month that they celebrate and show appreciation for a bountiful harvest of their staple food - rice.
