Laetania Belai Djandam

Laetania Belai Djandam, an Indigenous youth of Dayak Ngaju and Dayak Ma’anyan descent, climate activist, and planetary health practitioner, shares a powerful message on the deep connection between Indigenous Peoples, land, and health. She narrates a Dayak song about planetary health and plays the traditional Sapek instrument. Through music and storytelling, she calls for a radical shift in how we define health—one that recognizes its deep ties to land, culture, and the well-being of our planet.

Story arranged and filmed by the Next Generation Youth Council.
