Cultural Survival has covered and fought for many issues over the past 48 years: land rights, Indigenous languages, traditional knowledge, self-determination, freedom of expression. As we step into 2020, I want to focus on a topic that is very close to my heart — the sacred feminine. 

Cultural Survival condemns the use of excessive force and violence in the aftermath of the forced resignation of Bolivian President Evo Morales (Aymara), the country’s first Indigenous president, after 10 days of public protest.


Morales fled to Mexico after allegations of election fraud from the Organization of American States. Subsequent protests have so far left 23 people dead, more than 100 injured and multiple incarcerated in different parts of the country.

 

It has been just over a month since I joined Cultural Survival. I just returned from an inspiring trip to Guatemala, meeting with our staff, our partners, and local Maya Indigenous leaders and wanted to share some reflections with you.
