Indigenous women’s voices matter. Cultural Survival supports Indigenous women’s leadership in media. "For a visible life in a limited world" is a training process for Indigenous women communicators in community journalism with an intercultural gender approach. Our trainings support Indigenous women’s leadership in radio by working to improve their radio operations through a series of workshops and exchanges. We train local volunteers in journalism, broadcasting, interviewing, recording, audio editing, and technical skills.

The Central American Indigenous Community Media Alliance promotes Indigenous people’s voices in the media. The Alliance is composed of three organizations: Cultural Survival; EntreMundos; and the Central American Network of Indigenous Community Radio Stations and represents more than 60 radio stations in the seven Central American countries. Together, the Alliance fosters alternative, independent and Indigenous-controlled media, contributing to building democracies and providing relevant and accurate information to the public.

One tree humming to another accompanies my steps, softly like the sounds of the tongue's brief skipping from word to word.  I recognize the phonemes because they are different, and in this difference a secret grows, a joy and a fear, so deep that occasionally it brushes the sounds far away from my daily walk.
