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).
A practical guide for Indigenous Peoples on using the OECD Guidelines to protect their rights.
Indigenous Peoples worldwide face increasing threats from large-scale resource extraction, agribusiness, and infrastructure projects carried out on their lands. These activities often result in loss of livelihoods, community disruption, and the erosion of cultural heritage.
Freelance journalism is growing increasingly global every year, but finding the right people for the right stories or projects can still be a challenge. In response, the Indigenous Journalists Association (IJA) launched its Freelancer Database in September 2025, which is a searchable directory to support and spotlight IJA members while connecting them with vetted organizations.

“Creo que dar a los jóvenes la oportunidad de adquirir experiencia y desarrollar habilidades de liderazgo, aprender sobre su forma de vida tradicional y aumentar su autoestima puede allanar el camino para una generación de líderes destacados que participen en todos los aspectos del desarrollo comunitario”.
