Who they are
The Murut Okolod are an indigenous community on the island of Borneo, inhabiting forests and river valleys across Malaysia and Indonesia. They maintain a strong attachment to their ancestral land and support their families through traditional farming and gathering forest resources. Their cultural identity lives on in their native language and communal practices as they seek to withstand the rapid changes around them.
