"We are in control of identifying ourselves"

Trisha Moquino, an educator and cheerleader for her people from Cochiti, Ohkay Owhingeh, and Kewa Pueblos talks about the importance of introducing herself in her Indigenous language, which sees as an act of resistance and agency that allows Indigenous peoples to define who they are on their own terms.

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: https://svlint.org/TribalVoice
