Indigenous Peoples’ right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) provides a framework for the considerations and processes required when investors and governments seek to develop projects that may affect Indigenous communities, lands, territories, and resources. For this reason, Indigenous leaders must be prepared to advocate for their individual communities' FPIC priorities on their own terms from a fully informed and proactive position.

Cultural Survival expresses its solidarity with the Maya Peoples, the Maya Leaders Alliance, and the Toledo Alcaldes Association, in southern Belize in demanding that the State of Belize comply with the 2015 Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) ruling and respect Indigenous rights to land and Free, Prior and Informed Consent in every matter that affects Maya Peoples.

Ser Indígena é perigoso. Independentemente dos papéis que a comunidade indígena possa desempenhar na sociedade, como a descolonização do Estado transformando leis injustas em políticas justas, a defesa do meio ambiente, a proteção da biodiversidade, a luta pela autodeterminação e a defesa dos direitos humanos e da natureza, todos esses papéis, que podem parecer positivos no entendimento comum e democrático, têm trazido violência, assédio e morte a milhares de ativistas e líderes indígenas ao longo dos anos.

In Nigeria, many farmers didn't trust vaccines for COVID-19, making it hard to fight the virus. With financial support from Cultural Survival’s Indigenous Community Media Fund, Paramount 94.5 FM Abeokuta in Nigeria, undertook Project New Hope, which used radio broadcasts to teach about vaccines in a way that was culturally relevant in the Yoruba language. The station built a bridge between doctors and farmers, showing them how vaccines could save lives.
