This first segment of Kaamatan Queens of Yesteryears, I will feature the winners of the Harvest Festival Beauty Queens between 1960-1970. For those of you who are from outside Sabah and may not be familiar with the meaning of the Harvest Festival or Tadau Kaamatan, the links below may help you in understanding of the month-long Kaamatan Festival which is celebrated by the Kadazandusun people of Sabah and elsewhere in the world where ever they may be.On the same token, let me wish all my Kadazandusun readers a KOTOBIAN TADAU TAGAZO DO KAAMATAN 2006 (A Very Happy and Prosperous Harvest Festival). I shall be featuring all the 46 Kaamatan Queens/Unduk Ngadau of the yesteryears in the next few days for your viewing pleasure. In the mean time, here are the Kaamatan Queens of 1960 to 1970, who are also known at that time as Miss Kadazan.

DeleteThey should organize a reunion for all the Kaamatan Queens. Or maybe invite them as a VIP on the big day itself.
