Survival is the only worldwide organisation supporting tribal
peoples through public campaigns. It was founded in 1969 after an
article by Norman Lewis in the UK's Sunday Times highlighted the
massacres, land thefts and genocide taking place in Brazilian
Amazonia. Like many modern atrocities, the racist oppression of
Brazil's Indians took place in the name of 'economic growth'.
Today, Survival has supporters in 82 countries. They also offer
tribal people themselves a platform to address the world. Working
closely with local indigenous organisations, and focusing on
tribal peoples who have the most to lose, usually those most
recently in contact with the outside world.
