Cultural Survival is an Indigenous-led nonprofit organization, established in 1972, dedicated to advocating for the rights of Indigenous Peoples and supporting their self-determination, cultures, and political resilience. Operating from its headquarters in Cambridge, MA, Cultural Survival collaborates with Indigenous communities across 70 countries, emphasizing the importance of cultural preservation, self-governance, and environmental sustainability.

The organization offers a range of programs and services, including the Keepers of the Earth Fund and Indigenous Community Media Fund, designed to enhance community capacity and promote Indigenous women’s leadership.
