Who they are
The Bajau Bukit of Papar live in the state of Sabah, in eastern Malaysia. Unlike other groups within the same ethnic family who are traditionally connected to the sea, they inhabit inland areas and hillsides, preserving a strong connection to the land. Their identity is deeply shaped by ancient Islamic traditions that influence kinship ties and community life.
