 The United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues assists indigenous (native) people around the world who face threats to their cultures, languages, and basic rights as the process of globalization accelerates. We have experienced this in North America in relation to Native American and Inuit populations, but it is occurring throughout the world. Visit the forum’s website at www.un.org/development/desa/indigenouspeoples and contact the forum about the possibility of volunteering.

 Cultural Survival is an example of a leading nongovernmental organization (NGO) engaged in action-oriented programs. The organization partners with indigenous people to “defend their lands, languages, and cultures.” Look at their website (www.culturalsurvival.org) for internship and volunteer opportunities.
