The Cultural Survival Bazaars are a mainstay of the impactful, Indigenous-led, non-governmental organization Cultural Survival, and were co-founded 49 years ago by Pia and David Mayberry Lewis. After a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the Cultural Survival Winter Bazaar returned to the Prudential Center in Boston last December, and the first post-COVID Summer Bazaars were held in July 2024 in Newburyport, MA, and Tiverton, RI.

September 13, 2024, marks 17 years since the United Nations General Assembly adopted the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). 

In celebration of the 17th anniversary of the adoption of UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Cultural Survival is taking a look back at the top wins for Indigenous Peoples over the past year. From historic land back cases to positive legal rulings, there has been important progress.

Statement by the Securing Indigenous Peoples' Rights in the Green Economy Coalition

Indigenous Peoples are at the forefront of the global energy transition, with their lands and rights increasingly threatened by the rush for critical minerals. With 54% of critical energy transition minerals (CETMs) located on or near Indigenous Peoples’ lands, they are at the very center of mineral resource extraction but, paradoxically, not front and center in the energy transition discussion.

September 5 is the International Day of Indigenous Women commemorated in honor of Aymara warrior Bartolina Sisa, who in 1780, along with her husband Túpac Katari, led an important part of the Aymara-Quechua rebellion against the exploitation and abuse of Spanish colonizers in Peru. 

While too many women all over the world are still affected by violence and rights abuses, it is important to recognize the amazing work Indigenous women are doing to make change happen.
