Our ancestors have left us a great legacy. Let us commemorate, respect, and celebrate the sacred Grandfather Sun who is moving into another cycle of change, reminding us of our Mother Earth's gentle movement around him. His times are our times, regardless of where we are on Mother Earth.
A diario, las vidas y los medios de vida de pueblos Indígenas corren peligro en Abya Yala, donde los sistemas coloniales siguen oprimiendo los derechos y su lucha por tener una vida digna y respetada. Cultural Survival es una organización que apoya la autodeterminación y derechos de los pueblos y comunidades Indígenas desde 1972.
