Cultural Survival: Partnering with Indigenous Peoples to Defend their Lands, Languages and Cultures

The Cultural Survival Organization has been partnering with different Indigenous Communities worldwide for the past forty years to help them protect their land, language and culture. This organization basis its work on, ‘The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.’ The site is used to highlight the issues Indigenous people face. The sight is also a venue for advocacy against mistreatment of natives. Although this site is used as a means for fundraising; it is also educational and contains a lot of information about issues such as language loss, etc. It also highlights tools and endeavours that have been put into place to help preserve the native culture. Hence, it is a good resource to refer to for information regarding cultural loss and ways in which the Aboriginal culture has and can be preserved.
