One year ago, on December 15, 2011, President Barack Obama announced that the United States would “lend its support” to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. “The aspiration it affirms,” he said, “including the respect for the institutions and rich cultures of Native peoples, are one we must always seek to fulfill.”
In the shadow of the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001, many people failed to recognize another significant event. Four years ago, on September 13, 2007, the United Nations General Assembly signed into existence the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
On March 10, 2026, Cultural Survival announced the release of its annual "In Memoriam" report, documenting the harrowing murders of 46 Indigenous land and rights defenders across Latin America in 2025. The report underscores the persistent and systemic crisis facing Indigenous Peoples, who are disproportionately targeted for their essential work in stewarding and protecting vital ecosystems and territories.
March 8, is International Women's Day (#IWD), first celebrated in 1909. While too many women all over the world still suffer from violence and rights abuses, it is important to recognize the amazing work Indigenous women are doing to make change happen.
