It is with great sadness that Cultural Survival reports the passing of A’uwẽ leader, Silverio Tsereburã Tserenhib’ru Xavante (July 11, 1988 - December 3, 2025).

With Native American Heritage Month well underway and Thanksgiving/National Day of Mourning occurring today, let us celebrate Indigenous brilliance, honor, and acknowledge the truth in history, recognize whose land we are on, and work towards true allyship.

“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

Cultural Survival se complace en anunciar nuestro grupo de Becarios Jóvenes Indígenas seleccionados para 2025 como parte de nuestro Programa de Desarrollo de Capacidades.
