CULTURAL

 Cultural Survival has curated a robust network of partnerships with Indigenous communities spanning over 70 countries on 6 continents. Our work is predicated on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) where we work to empower Indigenous Peoples as they strive to assert their rights to self-determination and sustain their lands, cultures, and vital ecosystems that are essential to the health of our planet and all living things. Additionally, Cultural Survival has deep connections and influence across movements, sectors, governmental agencies, and international mechanisms like the United Nations, where we have held consultative status with the United Nations Economic Social and Cultural Council since 2005. We support grassroots Indigenous solutions to protect, respect, and fulfill the rights of Indigenous communities, and our approach centers on traditional knowledge to restore balance in the natural world. Based in Cambridge, MA, we have 26 staff based in 10 countries; our staff is majority women, and both staff and board are majority Indigenous— we are a true reflection of the communities we serve!
