Organización Gonawindúa Tayrona (OGT)
OGT is the governing organization of the four tribes of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in the north of Colombia: the Kogi, Arhuaco, Wiwa and Kankuamo. OGT safeguards and maintains the traditional governance and administrative structures of the community, while engaging members in education and health programs, reclaiming and restoring sacred sites, and advancing sustainable economic development models for the community, among others. More information is available online here. They have asked for our help.
Survival International
Did you know that 80% of the most biodiverse areas on Earth are home to indigenous and tribal peoples? Survival International exists to prevent the annihilation of tribal peoples and to give them a platform to speak to the world so they can bear witness to the genocidal violence, slavery, and racism they face on a daily basis. By lobbying the powerful we help defend the lives, lands, and futures of people who should have the same rights as other contemporary societies. Take action.
