In October 2016, a number of Costa Rican Indigenous representatives attended a meeting in the regional hub of Buenos Aires in southern Costa Rica. Called by the government’s Ministry of the Presidency as part of a consultation process, the meeting was an opportunity for Indigenous Peoples to voice their opposition to a giant dam proposed on the Diquis Reservoir that would inundate part of their land.

International non-profit organization Cultural Survival, known locally and worldwide for its work to promote Indigenous Peoples’ rights, will hold its annual Indigenous arts Bazaar in Plymouth for the second year on Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24 from 11am-6pm at DCR Pilgrim Memorial State Park.
