Dear Friend,
After an incredible year of hard work and deep impact, I am excited to share with you Cultural Survival’s 2021 Annual Report! ([link removed])
In 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to cause unprecedented health, economic, and political crises across the globe, which deeply affected many Indigenous communities. In addition to providing our regular comprehensive programming, Cultural Survival also provided emergency support to Indigenous Peoples impacted by the pandemic globally. Despite these challenges, we have made great strides this year, including the launch of our new 2022-2026 Strategic Framework that we shared publicly in November 2021.
Our team grew with the hire of several new staff and we ended the year with some good news from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights after a decade-long fight. On December 17, 2021, the Court announced its decision in the case Indigenous Maya Kaqchikel Peoples of Sumpango vs. Guatemala, declaring the Republic of Guatemala “internationally responsible for the violation of the rights to freedom of expression, equality before the law and participation in cultural life” of Indigenous Peoples.
This report ([link removed]) highlights the various levels of impact Cultural Survival is making around the globe, and exemplifies our commitment towards creating 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.
Thanks to our funders and supporters like you, in 2021 we accomplished the following:
* Funded 57 community media projects in 23 countries totaling $340,500.
* Supported 62 community projects in 21 countries totaling $303,363 through the Keepers of the Earth Fund.
* Supported 25 Youth Fellows in community media.
* Trained 52 Indigenous women in radio production and journalism.
* Released 218+ radio programs on COVID-19 prevention in 76+ Indigenous languages through our Indigenous Rights Radio Program.
* Submitted 8 reports to UN Treaty Bodies on human rights issues.
We are extremely thankful for both our new supporters and long-time donor partners, and their ongoing dedication and commitment to upholding Indigenous rights. It is through your financial support and generous donations that make this work possible.
In solidarity and gratitude,
Galina Angarova (Buryat)
Executive Director
