Our Purpose:With input from knowledgeable members of the communities to whom we serve, we define and implement indigenous peoples priorities for economic, social and cultural development and environmental protection, based on their traditional cultures, knowledge and practices, and the implementation of their inherent right to self-determination. We take pride in indigenous peoples cultural practices and build on these through documentation, publications, workshops and cultural concerts to promote cultural diversity, peace and tolerance. Through our projects, our members are empowered with skills necessary for promotion and protection of their cultural rights and heritage. We help create awareness on how indigenous peoples and other marginalized groups can effectively participate in governance and how this participation can result into sustainable livelihoods. |
