We support Saphichay, which serves indigenous communities in protecting their right to bio-cultural survival through preservation, reintegration, unification and empowerment of indigenous practices, knowledge, people and legal rights. They reawaken and reconnect youth and their families to their indigenous ancestry because their roots, resources, and livelihoods are at risk. They host programs that foster revitalization of traditional practices, language revitalization, and protection of sacred and agricultural lands.
