Cultural Survival Highlights Reports on the Exclusion of Independent Indigenous Voices

Cultural Survival shares three investigations released by Arctida, the Batani Foundation and the Indigenous Institute on 8 July 2026. The reports examine state and corporate influence over Russia’s Indigenous representation, the transformation of RAIPON, and development projects affecting Indigenous lands.

The publication places the cases of Daria Egereva and Natalia Leongardt in this wider context, warning that independent rights defenders are being pushed out of international decision-making.
