MOGINAKAN

The late Bobolian Aki Petrus Sator Gadut elaborated moginakan as a combination of the two Kadazandusun words moginum (drinking) and makan (eating) and so in simple term moginakan means feasting. However in the context of the Post Harvest Festival, moginakan has special cultural and spiritual significance to the Kadazandusuns. In its deepest meanings and purposes, moginakan incorporates the following elements of socio-spiritual acts:

  1. Reflection & purification (Koimbolitan)
  2. Peace and Harmony establishment (Kopibabasan)
  3. Moginakan
  4. Sharing (Kohompitan)
  5. Re-union /Communion (Kopiisaan)
  6. Commemoration of redemption (Kahandaman di Huminodun)
  7. Thanksgiving (Koponongkotoluadanan)
  8. Renewal (Kosolimboguan)
