Tribal people are increasingly threatened in today’s world. Dangers come in many forms - from governments and multi-national companies; banks, missionaries and guerrilla armies – sometimes in the name of economic growth and development. Mining and logging companies have destroyed whole landscapes, including vast tracts of rainforest, and seriously jeopardised tribal lifestyles. As their land is appropriated and their environment destroyed, indigenous people’s knowledge and identity are at risk.
