A few words from ohé our staunchest supporters..-
" They made us many promises, more than I , \ .
can remember, but they never kept but one. They ' promised to take our land, and they took it. When Red Cloud said these words he foretold both the destruction of his tribe and the way of life of the Native American peoples,
. ‘
a»
Today the same forces of so-called civilisation. threaten tribal peoples in every corner of the gldbe. The tribes of the Amazon basin, the Buddhist Chakmas of Bangladesh, the Aborigines of
Australia have all suffered.
Many have had their land stolen, others have been attacked, imprisoned, tortured or slaughtered. Neither children
.nor the very old have been spared.
Survival International is the only organisation dedicated to campaigning
for tribal peoples worldwide.
_ Please give now. Even better,
become a member of Survival before
for tribal pe0ples
it's too late... and save the people." - Richard Gere.
