Indigenous Cultural Preservation & Storytelling
Donation protected
ABOUT THIS CAMPAIGN: Will you support Indigenous communities in their fight to preserve their culture for the next generation?
Indigenous displacement has global cultural ramifications. Despite comprising less than 5% of the earth’s population, Indigenous communities account for the majority of the world’s cultural diversity (representing as many as 5,000 different cultures and over 4,000 languages).
In the face of this unprecedented mass migration, there is an urgent need to resource and support displaced Indigenous communities’ efforts to hold onto their unique cultural identities, languages, and traditions — or we risk vast portions of the globe’s cultural diversity disappearing.
Join us in supporting Indigenous Warao refugees, who are featured in this film, as they harness the power of storytelling in order to pass down memories of home, culture, and language, to a new generation growing up in displacement.
By supporting this impact campaign, you will help provide:
- Technology: A community media hub for the Indigenous Warao community in Canta, Brazil, including essential technology supplies. This is the community’s top request!
- Training: Impact storytelling workshops and training to amplify the communities self-advocacy efforts
- Tools: Essential tools to sustain traditional entrepreneurial and cultural preservation initiatives
- Talks: Sponsoring screenings and community discussions of the film around the U.S. and Brazil
Each of these resources are indispensable as we work with Indigenous leaders striving towards more frontline cultural preservation efforts for displaced communities. With your help, we can advocate for the power of storytelling in protecting our world’s cultural diversity.
Everything we do is led by Indigenous community leaders and refugee experts with first-hand knowledge. Please support them today.
