Sobre la organización y el proyecto
One year ago, on December 15, 2011, President Barack Obama announced that the United States would “lend its support” to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. “The aspiration it affirms,” he said, “including the respect for the institutions and rich cultures of Native peoples, are one we must always seek to fulfill.”
In the shadow of the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001, many people failed to recognize another significant event. Four years ago, on September 13, 2007, the United Nations General Assembly signed into existence the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
El 13 de septiembre de 2026 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).

In the Philippines, Indigenous Peoples continue to face land dispossession, militarization, environmental destruction, disinformation, and systemic marginalization. Amid these challenges, media has become an important tool for asserting Indigenous Peoples’ rights and ensuring that their stories are told and echoed.
El 5 de septiembre se conmemora el Día Internacional de las Mujeres y Niñas Indígenas del Mundo, en honor a la fortaleza, el liderazgo y la resistencia de las mujeres Indígenas a lo largo de las generaciones.
La fecha conmemora a la guerrera aymara Bartolina Sisa, quien, junto a Túpac Katari, contribuyó a liderar la resistencia aymara-quechua contra la explotación colonial española en 1780.
