Tribal Link Foundation

Welcome to Tribal Link Foundation's online news source! This blog has been set up to share with our friends and supporters the achievments and challenges of the world's indigenous communities. For those of you who are not aware of Tribal Link we are a communications network linking indigenous peoples to information, media, resources and relevent networks, with a special focus on the United Nations system. Tribal Link provides information to the public regarding indigenous peoples and their issues, emphasizing the significance of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. Since 1993, we have been working to support the world's indigenous peoples by organizing events and forums where indigenous peoples can publicize their issues; ensuring that indigenous peoples are informed and included in major UN and other forums, conferences and dialogues; mobilizing media professionals to publicize issues critical to tradtional peoples and their culture; arranginging hospitality programs and providing enriching cross-cultural exchanges; coordinating capacity building workshops focusing on indigenous peoples' participation within the international system. We also work to ensure that the vital contribution of indigenous spiritual knowledge is included in major UN conferences, commissions and other events.
