"As manifestações Indígenas na COP30 não são violações de segurança. Os Povos Indígenas estão exercendo seus direitos humanos fundamentais e expressando frustração pela falta de acesso aos espaços onde são tomadas decisões que os impactam de forma desproporcional." -- Aimee Roberson (Choctaw e Chickasaw), Diretora Executiva da Cultural Survival

In the quiet courtyards across the hills of southeastern Bangladesh, the soft clack of the loom can still be heard. Threads of many colors twist and cross, creating not just fabric, but stories. In these threads live memories of rivers, forests, and hills—woven by Indigenous women who have carried this art through generations.

Cultural Survival's community includes people from all walks of life, with beautiful stories to tell of your own about why you decided to become an advocate for Indigenous Peoples' rights. Sharing these stories further connects our community, provides much-needed solidarity and validation to our staff and partners on the ground, and helps us inspire others to join our movement. We are excited to spotlight members and former interns of our community and highlight your contributions and perspectives through our Cultural Survival Spotlight series.
