Abstract

Sistem Bi’nattang merupakan satu sistem sosial etnik Kimaragang. Etnik ini banyak menetap di daerah Kota Marudu dan sebahagian kecil lagi di daerah Pitas. Sistem Bi’nattang telah dipraktikkan oleh etnik Kimaragang pada tahun 1840–1845, iaitu sebelum kedatangan British di Borneo Utara. Kertas kerja ini akan membincangkan bentuk dan struktur sistem Bi’nattang dari segi susun lapis sosial, sistem kepimpinan, sistem kekeluargaan dan hubungan jantina yang diamalkan dalam sistem ini. Sehubungan itu, satu analisis ke atas struktur sistem Bi’nattang dibuat dengan mengupas susun lapis sosial, sistem kepimpinan, sistem kekeluargaan dan hubungan jantina dalam sistem Bi’nattang. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa sistem Bi’nattang terbentuk berdasarkan norma, kepercayaan dan nilai yang diamalkan dalam kehidupan etnik Kimaragang (Bernardi, Gonzales & Requena, 2006). Pada masa kini, sistem Bi’nattang tidak lagi diamalkan oleh etnik Kimaragang namun, sebahagian adat dan undang-undangnya masih diteruskan. Kajian ini penting bagi memahami sistem pentadbiran tradisional etnik Kimaragang iaitu sistem Bi’nattang.

 

The Bi’nattang System is a Kimaragang ethnic social system. This ethnic largely located in Kota Marudu District and a small part of Pitas District. The Bi’nattang system was practiced by the Kimaragang ethnic groups in 1840–1845, before the advent of the colonial powers in North Borneo. This paper will discuss the shape and structure of the Bi’nattang system in terms of social structure, leadership systems, family systems and gender relations practiced within the system. The results show that the Bi’nattang system is based on the norms, beliefs and values practiced by the Kimaragang ethnic groups in their lives (Bernardi, Gonzales & Requena, 2006). To date, the Bi’nattang system is no longer practiced by the Kimaragang ethnic group, but some of its custom and laws are still practiced. This study is important for understanding the traditional organizational system of the Kimaragang ethnic group, the Bi’nattang system.
