"We were forcibly evicted from our land"

India’s Supreme Court has just ordered the forced eviction of up to 8 million tribal people and other forest dwellers.

A Jenu Kuruba from Nagarhole Tiger Reserve in India describes his tribe’s special relationship with their forest and how their worship of nature helps them protect it. More evidence of why the Supreme Court order is not only a death sentence for tribal people but for the forest and tigers too.

Tribal Voice is a project by Survival International, the global movement for tribal peoples. More than one hundred and fifty million people in over sixty countries live in tribal societies.

From the Amazon to the Kalahari, from the jungles of India to the Congo rainforest, Tribal Voice gives them a platform. They experience appalling racism and genocidal violence. Their lands and resources are stolen for profit. Their ways of life are being deliberately and systematically destroyed.

Here they speak out about what matters to them; watch, listen, and get involved: https://svlint.org/TribalVoice
