Murut

The Murut are an Indigenous people of the interior of northern Borneo, mainly in south-western Sabah in Malaysia and neighbouring parts of Sarawak, Kalimantan and Brunei. Traditionally hill rice farmers and hunters living in longhouses, they practised headhunting until the early 20th century. In 1915 the Murut leader Ontoros Antanom led a rising against the British North Borneo Company.
