Our ancestral land, our culture & identity, and our rights.
Here are the reflections from the South Asia and Mekong Indigenous Youth Leaders and Guardianship Gathering last August 27-28, 2026.
Across borders and communities, young leaders stand in solidarity for a shared commitment to protect their ancestral lands, culture, and identity.
The reflections of Aitizya Chakma and Satej Chakma from Bangladesh Indigenous Youth Forum – BIYF. Aitizya is proud of the diverse languages and culture in their communities. Being close with the environment, the Indigenous youth is standing together in protecting the environment. Satej continues to stand in solidarity with Indigenous youths across boarders to protect and uphold their rights.
These reflections challenges all the Indigenous youth to unite in protecting their ancestral lands, Indigenous rights, culture & identity.
