Abstract

[Much of what I know about the sacredness and sustainability comes from constant reading and regular visits to the indigenous communities in Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. My own initiation and lived experiences in the Murut village of Bantul in Sabah, East Malaysia, has substantially generated a rather context-specific and germinal knowledge of sacredness and sustainability. Usually, the visits are occasions for me to interact with some of members of the communities over meals, meetings, conversations and outdoor activities and trips. Most of the time the interaction is with men and rarely with the women, youth and children of the community. The interactive conversations with the elders and shamans oftentimes confirm, inform or challenge what I have learnt about sacredness and sustainability.]
