A system of taboos, rituals, rules and customs are incorporated into daily living such that compliance with them will ensure adherence to the fundamental tenets of indigenous spirituality.

All these taboos and rules of behaving are adhered to in indigenous communities simply because the adherents believed in them and in the effects of the wrath and anger of the spirits should they be violated. However, concepts, rules and taboos do more for indigenous society than just ensuring good individual behaviour.

They lead to practices, processes and institutions through which all in the community participate and determine the economic, political and social mechanisms that distinguish traditional indigenous societies as autonomous and self-determined, as egalitarian and sustainable.

The Orang Asli are mostly self-supporting, practicing shifting cultivation, hunting and fishing. Pregnant women and the children have complicated food taboos such as that they cant eat small rodents such as rabbits. This taboo has cause the Orang Asli community to suffer from the lack of protein that they need.
