With Halloween and Day of the Dead around the corner, join us for a discussion on how Indigenous cultures and knowledge continue to be appropriated and exploited for profit. Topics covered will exploitations of Indigenous arts and designs, spirituality, traditional medicine, food, and imagery.
The advancement in retention and fortification strategies for the conservation of cultural practices, community structures, and specific environmental practices by Indigenous communities can be seen everywhere.
It has been a full year since I joined Cultural Survival and just five months into my journey, the COVID-19 pandemic hit and affected our lives in more ways than one. 2020 has caused unprecedented health, political and economic crises across the globe and this pandemic has deeply affected many Indigenous communities, causing an immediate threat to our well-being and survival. Cultural Survival, without missing a beat pivoted to supporting our partner communities and their responses to the virus.
