Sobre la organización y el proyecto
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).

The Keepers of the Earth Fund (KOEF) is proud to announce our 2024 partnership with Indigenous communities. At Cultural Survival, we value cultivating long-term relationships with our partners by supporting Indigenous projects on issues related to community empowerment for the defense of land and autonomy; strengthening Indigenous languages, cultures, and knowledge systems; conservation of Indigenous land and livelihoods in the face of climate change; and resistance to mining as a part of the solution to the “green” energy transition.

On December 9, the International Day of Commemoration of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide, it is important to acknowledge that genocide can take different forms—but it is always destructive.
