Partnering with Indigenous Peoples around the world to defend their lands, languages, and cultures. Are You Ready for #Proud2BIndigenous Week?  May 11th-17th, 2014 #Proud2BIndigenous Week is coming up! We wanted to make sure you knew some easy ways to get involved: 1.

Host an event  Is your organization hosting an event during UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII)? Please let us know, and we'll gladly promote it! Individuals can also get involved - have you considered hosting a documentary screening, book or poetry reading, live-tweet, or discussion during #P2BI? We'd love to help you out with ideas and hear about what you're doing! 3. Attend a UNPFII event    Cultural Survival is involved in several side events at the UNPFII, we would love to see you.  Affirming Indigenous Peoples' Cultural Rights in  the Post 2015 UN Sustainable Development Agenda: A roundtable discussion  Wednesday, May 14, 2014     304 E 45th St, New York, NY 10017       FF Building, Room 909 (Rio)     1:15-2:30pm    Freedom of Expression for Indigenous Communities in Guatemala Monday May 19, 2014 304 E 45th St, New York, NY 10017 FF Building, 6th Floor New York, NY 10017 1:15 to 2:30pm   Principles of good governance: Local governments' use of UNDRIP and its challenges Tuesday, May 20, 2014 304 E 45th St, New York, NY 10017  FF Building, 10120 Amartya Sen Room  New York, NY 10017, USA 1:15 to 2:30pm   Building Dialogue Around Rights, Governance, and Citizen Participation Through Indigenous Community Media Wednesday, May 21, 2014 304 E 45th St, New York, NY 10017  FF Building, 909 Rio Room  New York, NY 10017, USA 1:15-2:30pm   4.  Be Part of Our FPIC Initiative For our next round of programs, we are seeking to interview Indigenous delegates attending the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York from May 12-23 on solutions and success stories they have to share.
