Lumley has long been a supporter of [[Survival International]] and the cause of indigenous rights, and narrated Survival's documentary, ''Mine: Story of a Sacred Mountain''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1433152/|title=Mine: Story of a Sacred Mountain|date=1 April 2009|via=IMDb}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.survivalinternational.org/news/4604|title=London protesters vow to stop British mine and destruction of tribe in India|first=Survival|last=International}}</ref> The film tells the story of the remote [[Khonds|Dongria Kondha]] tribe in India and their battle to stop a vast [[bauxite]] mine from destroying their land and way of life. In defence of the Dongria, she has said, <blockquote>"It greatly disturbs me that a British company will be responsible for the destruction of these wonderful people. I urge the public to support the Dongria, who simply want to be allowed to live in peace. Unlike so many of India's rural poor, the Dongria actually live very well in the Niyamgiri hills, and it's a terrible irony that what [[Vedanta Resources|Vedanta]] is proposing to do in the name of 'development' will actually destroy this completely self-sufficient people."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.survivalinternational.org/news/4403|title=Joanna Lumley narrates new film about remote tribe|first=Survival|last=International}}</ref></blockquote> Lumley also contributed her writing for the book ''We Are One: A Celebration of Tribal Peoples'', released in October 2009 with profits going in support of Survival.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.survivalinternational.org/weareone|title=We Are One|first=Survival|last=International}}</ref> A collection of photographs, statements from tribal people and essays from international authors, the book explores the richness of the cultures of [[indigenous peoples]] around the world and the risks to their existence. In her essay for the book, Lumley speaks of the Dongria way of life and the threats they face in the name of corporate interests, and calls for action to stop such decisions.<ref>{{cite book |title=We are One: A Celebration of Tribal Peoples |last=Eede |first=Joanna |publisher=Quadrille Publishing |year=2009 |isbn=978-1-84400-729-5}}</ref>
