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).

We demand the right to share our wisdoms with you, our collective survival depends on it.
From November 9 to 20, 2026, world leaders, negotiators, and civil society will gather in Antalya, Türkiye, for the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of the Parties (UNFCCC COP31), the 31st UN Climate Change Conference. Türkiye is hosting the conference, while Australia is presiding over the negotiations.
Cultural Survival will be there with an Indigenous-led delegation to make sure the voices calling for a real and just transition are heard where decisions are made.
