On January 21, 2018, The National Indigenous Congress released a report via Twitter that a group of heavily armed men in two vans intercepted the caravan of aspiring Mexican Indigenous presidential candidate, María de Jesús Patricio Martínez (Nahua), also known as Marichuy, in the state of Michoacán. The report stated that the group intercepted the caravan between Tepalcatepec and Buenavista and threatened the journalists traveling with the candidate before stealing their cellular phones and camera equipment.
“Desconozco porque me están señalando del delito de hurto”, manifestó Oscar Mejía Imul, originario del municipio de Chichicastenango, departamento de Quiche, Guatemala,  en la audiencia de vista pública efectuada ayer, ante los magistrados de dicho organismo,  en la sala de vistas de la Corte de Constitucionalidad,  donde se solicitó revisar  la sentencia  en su contra y se declare con lugar la apelación del amparo.

The Cherangany Multipurpose Development Programme (CHEMUDEP) in Nairobi, Kenya works for the land, culture, language, and natural resource rights of Indigenous Peoples through community empowerment, human rights advocacy, and general development. The organization was founded in 2003 by the Cherangany people and has been working to develop and implement its community protocol for  obtaining the Cherangany community's Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC).

The 5th edition of the US Human Rights Network’s Human Rights Status Report  was released on January 15, 2018 (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day). The report was drafted “in order to highlight the issues that Dr. King organized around and issues that grassroots leaders in the U.S. continue to fight for, namely racial, economic and climate justice,” says US Human Rights Network Executive Director Colette Pichon Battle. “2017 saw a record number of climate disruptions and corporate attacks on natural resources that continue to uncover the thinly veiled structural discrimination faced by Indigenous, Black and poor communities across the country,” Battle continued in the introduction of the report.

We are excited to announce that Cultural Survival’s Executive Director Suzanne Benally (Santa Clara Tewa/ Navajo) has joined the Board of Directors of International Funders for Indigenous Peoples (IFIP), the only global donor affinity group dedicated solely to Indigenous Peoples around the world. For the past seventeen years, IFIP has built momentum toward a new movement in philanthropy that recognizes Indigenous communities as high-impact investments.
