According to the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB), 8 out of 10 Yanomami children in the northern Amazon rainforest are chronically malnourished. The FIOCRUZ Institute, one of the most respected health and research institutions in Latin America, recently warned that 6 out of 10 Munduruku people in the Amazon have high levels of mercury and malnutrition.

Cultural Survival has been working to decolonize and Indigenize our practices and operations by incorporating Indigenous cosmologies and ways of being into our day-to-day work. We have also been reviewing our internal policies and drafting new documents through this staff-led process and the results are incredible!

Indigenous rights are the solution to climate change!
At Cultural Survival, our staff and board came together over a series of months to build and manifest what we believe are the core values of our organization, as we act both internally with members of a team, and externally with our wider kin, partners, donors and members, partner organizations and stakeholders. Developing this list of values and principles has been a multi-stage process that engaged Cultural Survival’s full staff, leadership, and Board of Directors over a period of months.
