Who they are
The Basap are an indigenous people inhabiting the forested areas and river basins of eastern Borneo, Indonesia. With ancestral roots deeply tied to the land, they maintain traditions passed down orally and a strong sense of community life. As isolation decreases and contact with neighboring towns grows, families face rapid cultural changes and seek new directions for the future.
