- Our Progress
A Journey of Growth, Recognition and Community Empowerment
Since its establishment in 2004 and official registration in 2010, the Lmartin People Association (LPA) has remained committed to protecting the identity, rights, culture, and livelihoods of the Lmartin people. Over the years, we have grown into a respected indigenous community organization advocating for inclusion, environmental conservation, cultural preservation, and sustainable development.
