“It’s time we went back. We need the government to help us return to our territory.”
The Nukak have to return NOW to their territory. More than 30 years ago, missionaries, armed groups, and other settlers began invading the Nukak territory. Since then more than half of the Nukak people have died from disease and violence as a result of this forced contact. But the Nukak remain determined to get the Colombian government to help them return to their territory safely and to prosper again as a self-sufficient people. -- Join their fight! Write to the Colombian authorities: https://svlint.org/IndonesiaAct -- #TribalVoice 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
