Amarlal, a young Baiga man, explains that his people have been harassed and threatened with eviction since their village was declared part of a tiger corridor. They are sent to jail for building houses, or even collecting wood, but they are determined to stay – they can’t live without their hills and say they will die if they are forced to move to the town.

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: http://svlint.org/TribalVoice
