La libertad de expresión es un derecho inherente de toda persona sin censura ni licencia previa, preceptos consagrados en el sistema universal y el sistema interamericano, sin embargo, para los Pueblos Indígenas de Guatemala, este derecho ha representado a lo largo de su historia una constante violación y la ausencia de otros derechos fundamentales.

For centuries, the Crimean Tatars have lived on the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, where their language, traditions, and history are closely tied to the land.
But since Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, many Crimean Tatars have been forced into exile or now live under occupation. Their situation raises a question that Europe still struggles to answer: what does it mean for an Indigenous People to defend identity, continuity, and political belonging when access to their homeland is disrupted by occupation and war?

A community media project in the Paarl Valley has sparked renewed interest in Khoikhoi heritage, identity, and oral history among local communities tracing their roots to the region’s first people. The initiative, called Sida Dommi (Our Voice/Ons Stem), was led by local station Radio KC with support from Cultural Survival’s Indigenous Community Media Fund.

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.

*** PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION***
For the first time, the United Nations is officially commemorating the International Day of Indigenous Women and Girls, 40 years after Indigenous organizations and movements established September 5 as a day of advocacy and recognition.
En el marco de los talleres de comunicación Indígena llevados a cabo por el equipo de Radio Chaski Jujuy, con el apoyo de Cultural Survival, nos hicimos una pregunta al finalizar todo el proceso y conocer los productos radiofónicos elaborados, así como los aprendizajes adquiridos: quienes tuvimos la oportunidad de adquirir conocimientos sobre el uso de herramientas comunicacionales, ya fueran tecnológicas, teóricas o prácticas, ¿somos conscientes de que también nosotros nos seguimos formando a lo largo del proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje?
Reconocimiento de tierra
Reconocemos que nuestra sede está en la tierra de Massachusetts, en Cambridge, MA, y agradecemos a los administradores Indígenas pasados, actuales y futuros de este territorio.
