Many Indigenous Voices, One Message: Traditional Knowledge Protects Mother Earth! ([link removed])
We are living in a time of crisis. Scientists, farmers, Indigenous Peoples, and even the United Nations all agree that humanity’s impact on the world’s ecosystems and natural resources has brought us to a turning point. If there is no intervention, the planet faces the mass extinction of up to 1 million plant and animal species due to pollution, habitat loss, and climate change. This program consists of commentary from Indigenous leaders such as Les Malezer, advocate for the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples of Australia; LaDonna Brave Bull Allard, Lakota historian; and Ben Ruli from the Gimi people of Papua New Guinea.

Elifuraha Laltaika on Traditional Knowledge ([link removed])
How important is it that traditional knowledge is protected, and also passed on from one generation to the next?
How important is it that traditional knowledge is passed down in the language from which that knowledge originates?
Cultural Survival’s Dev Kumar Sunuwar met Elifuraha Laltaika, a member of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. They spoke in the corridors of the United Nations headquarters in New York.

Victoria Tauli-Corpuz on Traditional Knowledge ([link removed])
The 18th session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues was held from April 22nd to May 3rd 2019. The theme for this year was Traditional Knowledge: Generation, Transmission and Protection. We spoke to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, on the meaning behind this particular theme and why it was chosen.

Indigenous Science is Lifesaving ([link removed])
Though collaboration is crucial to finding solutions for climate change, Indigenous People must be able to maintain, protect, and control their cultural heritage, sciences, and technologies. The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples provides a legal framework for intellectual ownership by Indigenous communities of their traditional knowledge. However, many additional cultural barriers to equal-footed climate change collaboration exist, such as the automatic devaluation of Indigenous science by Western science practitioners.

Cultural Survival advocates for Indigenous Peoples' rights and supports Indigenous communities’ self-determination, cultures and political resilience since 1972. We envision a future that respects and honors Indigenous Peoples' inherent rights and dynamic cultures, deeply and richly interwoven in lands, languages, spiritual traditions, and artistic expression, rooted in self-determination and self-governance.
