Since 1972, Cultural Survival has worked to advance the rights of Indigenous Peoples, supporting their self-determination, cultural vitality, and political resilience. The organization envisions a world where Indigenous communities’ inherent rights are respected and their cultures—rooted in land, language, spiritual traditions, and artistic expression—are strengthened through self-governance. In Oceania, Cultural Survival has highlighted issues such as environmental justice and resilience, for example in Barbara Rose Johnston and Brooke Takala Abraham’s article “Environmental Disaster and Resilience: The Marshall Islands Experience Continues to Unfold” (2016). The piece illustrates the ongoing struggles of Marshall Islanders in the face of nuclear legacies and climate change.
