Kadazan Dusun Cultural Associaton (KDCA) Penampang

The Kadazan Dusun Cultural Association Sabah (KDCA) is a non-political group of 40 indigenous ethnic communities in Sabah. It was first registered under the Malaysian Societies Act 1966 on April 29, 1966, by Mr. J. P. Rutherford, who was the Deputy Registrar of Societies Malaysia at the time.

In 1953, when the Society of Kadazan Penampang was founded, KDCA was just getting started. This group made it possible for the Kadazan Cultural Association Sabah (KCA) to start up in 1963. On September 25, 1991, the KCA became the KDCA.

Since its start in the early 1950s, the KDCA has put a lot of effort into preserving, developing, enriching, and promoting the different cultures of the Kadazandusun. Without KDCA, a lot more of the Kadazandusun cultural heritage that is still around today would have been lost, buried, or pushed aside by modern cultures. The KDCA's Triennial Delegates Conference gives the different Kadazandusun representatives from different ethnic groups a much-needed place to talk about major issues that affect them and their future and to take both individual and group actions to solve problems that affect everyone.
