Dayak art has become part of Benediktus Hang, 48. Every meaning and value of the Dayak art has become his way of life. He has devoted himself to training local children the traditional dance of the Dayak Long Gliit, so that they would grow up maintaining the forests.

Hang was born and settled in Long Tuyoq village, Long Pahangai district, Mahakam Ulu regency, East Kalimantan. From its name, this village is in a regency located on the banks upstream of the Mahakam River. Nature has given him many life lessons. The forest is where people farm and hunt. The river is a place for people to catch fish for side dishes.
