Cultural Survival's community includes people from all walks of life, with beautiful stories to tell of your own about why you decided to become an advocate for Indigenous Peoples' rights. Sharing these stories further connects our community, provides much-needed solidarity and validation to our staff and partners on the ground, and helps us inspire others to join our movement. We are excited to spotlight members and former interns of our community and highlight your contributions and perspectives through our Cultural Survival Spotlight series.

Across the globe, Indigenous youth are rising as powerful leaders in the fight against climate change, combining ancestral knowledge with innovative action to protect their lands, cultures, and futures. Through the Cultural Survival Indigenous Youth Fellowship, young leaders from Kenya, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Bangladesh have designed and led projects that not only address urgent environmental challenges but also strengthen community resilience and intergenerational connections.
Podcasts have become a vital space for Indigenous Peoples to reclaim their narratives, revitalize languages, and share cultural knowledge on their own terms. For African Indigenous creators, they serve as platforms for sustaining ancestral wisdom, amplifying oral traditions, and strengthening cultural identity while making these stories accessible to global audiences.

El 13 de septiembre de 2024 se cumplen dieciocho años desde que la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas adoptó la Declaración de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas (DNUDPI).
En celebración del 18.º aniversario de la adopción de la Declaración de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos de los Pueblos Indígenas, Cultural Survival está haciendo un repaso de las principales victorias para los Pueblos Indígenas durante el último año. Desde casos históricos de restitución de tierras hasta fallos legales positivos, han habido avances importantes.

“Nuestros padres han muerto con ese sueño de vivir en libertad, de vivir en una vida tranquila y digna. No se ha dado (a lo largo del tiempo) pero nosotros no vamos a desfallecer. Más bien, nos vamos a parar bien fuertes, más firmes hasta el final. Que sea eco de nuestra voz y que se escuche en Bolivia y en el mundo entero que nosotros no vamos a desfallecer” Wayna Tambo
