Summary
DescriptionRITUAL SUANG LOTUD (3).jpg |
English: Tantagas are traditional spiritual and ritual specialists-leaders of the Suang Lotud indigenous community in Tuaran, Sabah, Borneo.
They are skilled in memorising the rinait – the long ritual chants and prayers that are addressed to the Lotud deities. The rinait constitutes a unique genre of poetic oral literature. They tell the creation of the world, the exploits of the deities, the origins of rice, prescriptions for moral living, ritual practices and other aspects of cultural life. Recitation of rinait may involve loud chanting or soft whispering and can last for hours or days, according to the context and occasion. The Tantagas constitute a hierarchy of levels of spiritual knowledge and power. Younger Tantagas learn the rinait and rituals from the older ones. With the advent of major world religions and modernisation, their numbers are dwindling – less than five active Tantagas in Tuaran as of 2023.
