Survival, founded in 1972, helps indigenous peoples and ethnic groups deal as equals in their relations with national and international societies. Cultural differences are inherent in humanity and protecting this human diversity enriches our common earth. Yet in the name of development and progress, indigenous peoples lose their lands and natural resorces, thereby losing control over their lives. The consequences are often disease, destitution, and despair for them, and war and enviormental damage for us all. Cultural Survival believes this destruction is not inevitable.
