Cultural Survival, Inc.

Cultural Survival is a global leader in the fight to protect indigenous lands, languages, and cultures around the world. In partnership with indigenous peoples, we advocate for native communities whose rights, cultures, and dignity are under threat. Before the day is over, an indigenous person will be displaced or killed. Before the month is over, an indigenous homeland will be clear-cut, strip-mined, or flooded. Before the year is over, dozens of indigenous languages will vanish forever. Governments and powerful economic interests perpetrate this human and cultural devastation. Cultural Survival works to prevent it. We partner with indigenous peoples to strengthen their languages and cultures, educate their communities about their rights, and fight marginalization, discrimination, exploitation, and abuse.
