ABOUT THE BAZAARS:
Every Year hundreds of Indigenous Artisans, Fair Trade Companies, and grassroots organizations from Africa, Asia, and the Americas sell traditional crafts, artwork, clothing, jewelry, decor, carvings, masks, musical instruments, tribal rugs, pottery, weavings, and accessories to the New England public.
Best of All, the sales of these handmade gifts support a wide variety of programs worldwide, supporting the world's 370 Million Indigenous Peoples. For more information about these programs visit Cultural Survival's website at www.cs.org. (or click here)
ABOUT CULTURAL SURVIVAL:
Cultural Survival is a global leader in the fight to protect indigenous lands, languages, and cultures around the world. In partnership with indigenous peoples, we advocate for native communities whose rights, cultures, and dignity are under threat.
Why Is It Important That You Go?:
Before the day is over, an indigenous person will be displaced or killed.
Before the month is over, an indigenous homeland will be clear-cut, strip-mined, or flooded.
Before the year is over, dozens of indigenous languages will vanish forever.
Governments and powerful economic interests perpetrate this human and cultural devastation.
Cultural Survival works to prevent it.
We partner with indigenous peoples to strengthen their languages and cultures, educate their communities about their rights, and fight marginalization, discrimination, exploitation, and abuse.
