Freelance journalism is growing increasingly global every year, but finding the right people for the right stories or projects can still be a challenge. In response, the Indigenous Journalists Association (IJA) launched its Freelancer Database in September 2025, which is a searchable directory to support and spotlight IJA members while connecting them with vetted organizations.

“Our parents died with the dream of living in freedom, of living a peaceful and dignified life. It has not happened yet, but we will not give up. Rather, we will stand strong, steadfast until the end. Let our voice echo and be heard in Bolivia and throughout the world: we will not give up.” Wayna Tambo
Cultural Survival is excited to announce our 2025 cohort of Indigenous Youth Fellows as part of our Capacity Building Program.
