Trump’s decision to pull the United States out of the Paris Climate Agreement signals a complete disregard of human rights, Indigenous rights, climate justice, and the future of this planet in the interest of greed, wealth, acquisition, and the continued conquest of Mother Earth. Indigenous Peoples around the world will feel the impact. Cultural Survival strongly condemns the backing out of the agreement.

Today, Cultural Survival, an Indigenous Peoples’ rights advocacy organization based in Cambridge, MA, publicly announced its administration of the Keepers of the Earth Fund, a small grants fund designed to support Indigenous Peoples’ advocacy and community development projects. This much needed resource fund was established in 2005 by nonprofit First Peoples Worldwide, which is closing its doors with the retirement of its president and founder, Rebecca Adamson in June 2017.
On March 13-24, 2017, the 61st Commission on the Status of Women (CSW61) convened at the UN Headquarters in New York City to discuss three major issues: women’s economic empowerment in the changing world of work, challenges and achievements in the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals for women and girls, and the empowerment of Indigenous women. 2017 also marks the 10th anniversary of the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People and an opportunity for Indigenous women to vocalize their needs and concerns.
