Tribal people also have voices: SURVIVAL INTERNATIONAL - A movement that helps them be heard.
“Survival” is the only not-for-profit organisation worldwide that works for tribal peoples’ rights.
Survival was a movement that was first formed in 1969 by individuals who were appalled after the genocide of Amazonian Indians by large cooperations.“Our vision is for a world where tribal peoples are recognized and respected; an end to the unjust treatment tribal peoples are subjected to; and a world where tribal peoples are free to live on their own lands, safe from violence, oppression and exploitation.”
Survival focuses on those tribes that are the most vulnerable, the ones that are least contacted by or ‘intergrated’ into the wider society, and the ones that are in danger of destructions from disease or land theft.
Tribes across the world have had to deal with problems such as LAND THEFT, RACISM, SLAVERY, VIOLENCE, FORCED ‘PROGRESS’ AND INTERGRATION, AND RESOURCE THEFT.
