Celebrate 53 years of Cultural Survival!

Since our founding in 1972, Cultural Survival has been committed to championing Indigenous Peoples' rights, voices, and cultures worldwide, continuously standing firm in our commitment to Indigenous communities no matter what challenges lie ahead.

Most recently, Cultural Survival was on the ground at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) in New York City, working to amplify Indigenous voices and Indigenous-led solutions. We ran the Indigenous Media Zone ([link removed].) , hosted several side events and discussions, and supported the participation of two of our Indigenous Youth Fellows and three advocacy and grant partners.

Today, while much of the press is focused on the current administration, let's shift the narrative and highlight some of the work our community partners are doing to resist, fight back, and reclaim their power and rights.
* Our partner Norton Bay Watershed Council (Iñupiat), a Tribally-owned and operated nonprofit organization whose purpose is to protect the water resources of the Norton Bay Watershed on the Seward Peninsula in Alaska, is working to evaluate federal climate change mitigation policies impacting Indigenous health and well being, using their findings in government-to-government consultations to integrate Traditional Knowledge into federal natural resource management.
* Partners in Uganda from Community Development Shield (Karamojong) are addressing pressing community challenges by co-creating, initiating, designing, and implementing innovative and problem-solving projects that aim to enhance “climate-smart” agriculture practices among Indigenous Elders, women, and youth that consider the diverse needs of women and girls.
* The Okienani Waorani Association, our partner in Ecuador, created by a group of women artisans from the communities of Tobeta, Miwaguno, Dikaro, and Bameno in Orellana, is creating job opportunities for women who are heads of their households. The Association is dedicated to the production and sale of crafts made with ancestral techniques and natural resources from the Amazon rainforest, focusing on strengthening their autonomy through self-management of spaces and income generation while continuing to practice cultural resistance and care for their territory.

Our partners continue to be at the forefront of the struggle on behalf of all people, fighting for a future where Indigenous knowledge and collective action form the foundation of a just and sustainable world—one that ensures safety and dignity for all. Supporting the rights, resistance, and resilience of Indigenous Peoples is more than a cause; it is an investment in the future of humanity and all life on Mother Earth.

We all know that there is much to do. As we celebrate 53 years of Cultural Survival, we call on our community to continue to be courageous in the work we do and help us ensure that our collective impact lasts for generations to come.
