In November 2021, Cultural Survival submitted a Report on the Adverse Impact of Climate Change on the Full and Effective Enjoyment of Human Rights of Indigenous Peoples to the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
On December 18, 2019, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed an International Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022-2032) as a follow up to the International Year of Indigenous Langauges (2019).
Cultural Survival is a global organization whose mission is to advocate for Indigenous Peoples' rights and support Indigenous communities’ self-determination, cultures, and political resilience. We support this mission through strategic approaches and programs. We are led by Indigenous people from various regions of the world.
At Cultural Survival, our staff and board have come together to agree and manifest what we believe are the core values of our organization, both internally as members of a team, and externally among our wider kin, partners, donors, and members, partner organizations, and stakeholders. Developing this list of values and principles has been a multi-stage process inclusive of Cultural Survival’s full staff, senior leadership, and board of directors over a period of months.
