Indigenous leaders and organizations from across Venezuela met to discuss a national plan for the recognition of the presence of uncontacted peoples in the country, and the protection of their forests. This is huge: unlike in other countries in South America, the Venezuelan government hasn’t officially recognized the existence of its uncontacted peoples. Many of their lands are under huge threat from illegal mining and other invasions.

This multi-day gathering was organized by the Venezuelan organization Wayamoutheri, supported by Survival. We took part in one workshop, sharing our global experience campaigning for the rights and lives of uncontacted peoples.

This is a ground-breaking moment. It could finally kickstart serious protections of uncontacted peoples’ lands and lives in Venezuela.

🚨 Join our upcoming webinar series on the rights of Indigenous Peoples in Isolation and Initial Contact (PIACI)!

Indigenous Peoples in Isolation and Initial Contact (PIACI) are groups of Indigenous people who have decided to reject contact with the outside world, or at the very most maintain limited contact with it. They’re self-sufficient and rely entirely on their lands and forests to survive and thrive. 🌿 Survival's report estimates there are 196 groups of Indigenous Peoples in Isolation around the world.

But they’re at risk of being wiped out: increasing pressure from mining and other forms of extractivism is destroying their territories and putting their lives at risk. Not to mention, the growing demand for transition minerals is adding to the crisis. Half of Indigenous Peoples in Isolation could be wiped out by 2030 if nothing is done. 🚨

🌎 Earlier this year, Indigenous leaders, organizations and allies came together in Jakarta, Indonesia, to tackle these threats and identify pathways for action. The result was the Jakarta Declaration, a collective call for urgent action for the protection of their territories.

📢 Now, we’re taking that conversation forward with a webinar series.

Join Indigenous leaders and allies from South America and Indonesia as we explore the realities that PIACI are facing across regions, share lived experiences and regional perspectives, and discuss Indigenous-led solutions to ensure their survival.

📍 Session 1 — Perspectives from South America
📆 September 30, 7 am PT. 10 AM ET.

NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT 📢 Get tagging!

After decades of struggle and campaigning, the Kawahiva do Rio Pardo Indigenous Territory is so close to becoming official! It’s home of the uncontacted Kawahiva people, who need their territory fully protected and recognized to ensure their future.

‼️ The final step of the demarcation process, which means the recognition and mapping of the territory, lies with Brazilian president Lula. All he needs to do is sign a document. That’s it.

Tag Lulaoficial and Fundação Nacional dos Povos Indígenas in the comments to get the Kawahiva territory recognized! 👇

Today marks 188 years since the US violently relocated five nations of Indigenous Americans (Cherokee, Muscogee Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Seminole) from their ancestral homelands. This was called the Trail of Tears.

The Indian Removal Act passed by congress in 1830 led to their forced removal.

It opened Indigenous land up to colonizers, and forced over a hundred thousand Native Americans to walk hundreds of miles to a specially designated territory across the Mississippi River.

They made the journey on foot, without food, water or any support whatsoever. Between 15,000-16,000 people died – no one over 60 or under 6 survived the journey.

Today, we honor those that lost their lives in this genocidal act of violence. All Indigenous people, worldwide, have the right to live on their ancestral land.

URGENT 🚨 Risk to uncontacted Indigenous people in the Ituna Itatá territory in Brazil!

A month ago, the local government introduced a new law that goes against Brazil’s consitution. It allows for agriculture and livestock farming, wildcat mining, industrial activity, and both urban and rural human settlement - INSIDE the Ituna Itatá territory, home to uncontacted people.

Now an 500 outsiders are operating illegally there! It’s clear that there was an orchestrated plan to illegally occupy the territory.

According to Opi, over 30 km of secondary roads have been opened, and over three wildfires have been set.

‼️ The federal government must ACT NOW and deploy the police to stop the land grabbers, and safeguard the lives of uncontacted Indigenous peoples. There’s a real risk that the uncontacted people could be wiped out!

🏹 Only if their territory's protected can uncontacted Indigenous peoples survive and thrive!
