We promote not only traditional music and dance but also the visual arts, story-telling, documentary and feature films from and about indigenous cultures. In addition to marketing and managing tours of the UK and Europe by indigenous performance groups, we will also be hosting indigenous arts spaces in festivals - combining workshops, performances, film screenings, art exhibitions, crafts stalls and discussion fora to celebrate and promote indigenous wisdom, knowledge and spirituality.

Indigenous People has strong links with or supports the work of the following organisations :

  The Synergy Centre , a community arts centre in Camberwell, South London is the HQ of Indigenous People.
  The Native Spirit Film & Video Festival of the Indigenous Peoples of the Three Americas 2007 was the first festival of its kind in the UK, showcasing some outstanding and innovative films about the indigenous peoples of North, South and Central America.
  Survival International - the worldwide organisation supporting tribal peoples and their human rights.
   

The Global Diversity Foundation promotes the richness of local cultures and their environments around the world. They are concerned about the future of the biodiversity that people tend, the languages they speak and the ways they interact with their cultural landscapes. They believe that globalisation can go hand-in-hand with diversity. But it requires education, research and sheer hard work in the form of long-term, community-based projects.
 

Sandblast is a London-based charity that embraces a broad network of artists, friends of the Saharawis, academics,activists and students who all believe in the fundamental justice of the Saharawi cause.

 

Ten years in the making, Whaledreamers is a full-length feature documentary  - an experiential film for our times. It is a story of Dreaming and interwoven Dreams… taking us on a deep global journey into a forgotten magic that connects us all. The wisdom of Indigenous Elders from around the world permeate the film, offering up the all too familiar warnings of where humanity seems to be going… but it also reflects back to us that we collectively can also come back from the edge of extinction… it is not too late. People around the world are waking up. For the first time on film Aboriginal Whale Calling ceremonies are being shared. The Gathering is an invitation for us all to come back to the Fire... the Dreaming... and the Natural World.

  Bolivia Solidarity Campaign - Since colonisation, the indigenous people that form the majority of the population in Bolivia have been victims of exploitation and discrimination. Today, their representatives demand that their rights are recognised and respected. They are seeking real regional autonomy and a level national political representation that reflects their demographic weight.
 

Tourism Concern has been working since 1989 to raise awareness of the negative impacts of tourism: economic, cultural, environment and social. Advocacy is a major part of our work and time and again, the message from our Southern (Third World) partners is the same: "We want tourists, but at the moment we don't benefit from them." Communities often find they have tourism imposed on them by governments and foreign developers and tourism businesses; that there is little linkage between tourism especially at a mass scale - and local industry, such as agriculture; that land and natural resources are frequently co-opted, often illegally; and that their cultural traditions are appropriated and commercialised.
