This international organisation aims to support tribal peoples worldwide. It works closely with local indigenous organisations and focuses on tribal peoples, usually those most recently in contact with the outside world.
Its work focuses on three complementary ways: education, advocacy and campaigns.
Education:
- provides free educational materials for teachers and students
- gives talks and lessons about tribal peoples in schools
- organises public talks, books, conferences and photographic exhibitions etc to inform the general public.
Advocacy:
- disseminates information to tribal peoples, using both community radio and the written word
- provides a platform for tribal representatives to talk directly to the companies which are invading their land
Campaigns:
- runs worldwide campaigns, using mass letter-writing, to support tribal peoples rights
