Tugu Nunuk Ragang

Today I am going to write about “Nunuk Ragang”. “Nunuk” is a Dusun word for Banyan tree and “Ragang” is comes from “Aragang” means “Red” which basically if you call it in English its going to be “Red Banyan Tree”. To believe that this is a place of original settlement of the Kadazandusun community who later inhabit most of central Borneo. During conversation with my father this is what he been told from their ancestor. He told me that long time ago the place where you can see the monument now, there is a huge Banyan Tree located between the intersection of the left (Liwagu Kegibangngan or left river) and right (Liwagu Kawananan or Right river). It was under this giant banyan tree that the village of Nunuk Ragang was founded and flourished. Liwagu Kegibangan and Liwagu Kewananan flowing eastward Ranau and Tambunan play an important role as the main route of mass migration to all corners of the Dusun community places in the State.
