At Cultural Survival, we recognize the importance of Indigenous media as platforms through which Indigenous Peoples share their stories, struggles, knowledge, and visions for the future. This media is essential for amplifying their voices, preserving their memory, and ensuring the continuity of their Traditional Knowledge.
Cultural Survival mourns and condemns the death in Nicaraguan State custody of Brooklyn Rivera (Miskitu), a longtime Indigenous defender who spent more than 40 years defending Indigenous rights, territories, and autonomy in Nicaragua.
The Kichwa, Waorani, Sápara, Andwa, Achuar, Shiwiar, and Shuar Indigenous Peoples in the Ecuadorian Amazon face grave threats to their territories due to the advancement of oil bidding rounds—specifically the Ronda Sur Oriente (Southeastern Round) and Ronda Subandina (Sub-Andean Round)—promoted by the Ecuadorian State. These initiatives seek to auction off 11 oil blocks to companies and investors, blocks that overlap with ancestral Indigenous territories.
