HOW OUR BIG FAMILY CELEBRATE KAAMATAN?
Hello steemians, how are you? I hope you all feeling well.
Opening ceremony with a Tagung @ Gong performance by the Sindikau's Children
On 31st May 2018, our big family celebrates Kaamatan @ Harvest Festival together at my uncle's house. It was an opportunity for us to gathering together because it was a public holiday for Sabahan and some of us live abroad and far away.
Two weeks before the celebration, we make a family shirt. The shirt is written with "Sinakagon Sindikau". It means " Sindikau Big Family".

Our main events on that time of course to gather and eats. The day before the event, we set up the tent together. We also bergotong-royong together to cook.
On that day, we start our event with prayer and praise songs. After that, we heard the word of God. We also make activities such as lucky draw, Sugandoi a.k.a Singing competition in our language (Dusun Songs), have a gong (Mangaggung) playing competition and traditional cooking contest.
