The Dusun people of Brunei, also known as Sang Jati or Suang Jati, are an indigenous ethnic group primarily residing in the Tutong and Belait Districts of Brunei.[1][2] They constitute one of the seven indigenous ethnic groups in Brunei Darussalam, known locally as the Sang Jati Dusun.[3]

The Brunei Dusun ethnic group is closely related to the Bisaya ethnic group of Limbang, with a strong presence in Tutong district and scattered communities in Belait.[3][4] Their cultural richness, distinct traditions and linguistic diversity significantly contribute to Brunei's cultural heritage.
