Cultural Survival Publications link Indigenous Peoples from around the world
Cultural Survival has three major goals:
1. Spread awareness and provide formal documentation of the myriad challenges confronting indigenous peoples around the world.
2. Engage and educate the next generation about the critical issues facing indigenous peoples and their importance within the global community.
3. Provide empowerment tools that support indigenous efforts to effectively resist cultural degradation and threats to their sovereignty.
It publishes the Indigenous Weekly News that everyone is invited to subscribe to by sending an e-mail message to join-weekly_indigenous_news@lyris.cs.org. Their quarterly journal, Cultural Survival Quarterly (CSQ), contains articles that "explore the interconnected issues that affect indigenous and ethnic minority communities, including environmental destruction, land rights, sustainable development, and cultural preservation."
"All over the world, governments were seeking to extract resources from areas that had not hitherto been developed and, in the process, were mistreating their indigenous inhabitants. What should be done about this? What could be done about this? Cultural Survival was founded to try to answer these questions and to work for the solutions developed by the nascent indigenous and pro-indigenous movements."
