About Mari Mari Cultural VillageMari Mari Cultural Village is a living museum located along Jalan Kionsom in Inanam, Kota Kinabalu. It is a pretty new cultural village, having just opened at the end of 2008.At Mari Mari Cultural Village, you can go around exploring the different types of tribal longhouses of Sabah. There are five different long houses here, representing the Dusun*, the Rungus, the Lun Dayeh, the Bajau and the Murut traditional abode. What is fun about going to Mari Mari is that at each site, you get to participate in whatever the natives are engaged in. Not only do you get to see and smell, often you get to touch and do as well. And of course, you will have a guide around to explain it all. * I put an astericks to explain whether is it Dusun, is it Kadazan, or is it Kadazan-Dusun. It's actually the same people, but depending on whether they were living in the towns or in the countryside, they ended up being known as Kadazan or Dusun. Other than that, they share common customs and spoken language. In the case of Mari Mari Cultural Village, they should be the Dusun people, as what is showcased here is the rural tribe in rustic surroundings. Among the things you will get to see at Mari Mari are the cooking methods, including how the tribal people start a fire without matches. You get to see how jala is made - the same type of snack that I saw at the Sarawak Cultural Village. The different tribes of course wear their own tribal costumes, so you can identify the ethnic group according to what they wear. At the dance hall, you get to participate in the Magunatip bamboo dance of the Murut tribe.
