"Our hills are like our parents to us"

In this video from India, a Baiga man shares what the hills mean to him and his people. Indigenous people know their forests better than anyone else. They have shaped them, been dependent on them, and nurtured and protected them, for millennia. It’s time to listen.

Tribal Voice is a project by Survival International, the global movement for tribal peoples. More than one hundred and fifty million people in over sixty countries live in tribal societies.

From the Amazon to the Kalahari, from the jungles of India to the Congo rainforest, Tribal Voice gives them a platform. They experience appalling racism and genocidal violence. Their lands and resources are stolen for profit. Their ways of life are being deliberately and systematically destroyed.

Here they speak out about what matters to them; watch, listen, and get involved:
