Real News Network editor Paul Jay interviews Adrienne Pine about US support for the militarization of Honduras and the international opposition to the human rights abuses enabled by US funding. As the Honduran dictatorship escalates its attacks against indigenous peoples and civil society on behalf of resource extraction/carbon credit landholders, the US-backed coup takes on a clear meaning and purpose. With the exposure of Honduran military and administrative involvement in drug trafficking, the drug war myth promoted by President Obama and Secretary Clinton rings hollow.

Dear reader,

Across the world right now, Indigenous peoples are facing a renewed assault on their lands, rights, and ways of life. From extractive industries pushing deeper into ancestral territories, to governments rolling back hard-won protections, the threat is global—and it is growing.

What makes this moment especially dangerous is how little attention it receives.

Stories like this are disappearing in real time. Mainstream media barely covers it and the coverage is fragmented. The public is left without the context needed to understand what is truly at stake.

That is exactly why IC Magazine exists..

For more than 20 years, IC has reported on Indigenous struggles worldwide — consistently, independently, and without compromise. We don’t follow news cycles; we trace patterns. We don’t sensationalize; we provide context. And when the world looks away, we stay focused.

But this work is increasingly difficult to sustain.

We refuse to lock our reporting behind a paywall. We don’t sell access through subscriptions. And we don’t answer to advertisers. IC Magazine survives solely because readers like you choose to support independent Indigenous journalism.

Please donate today if you can. Every contribution helps us to continue this crucial work.

Thank you,

John Ahni Schertow
Founder and Editor in Chief
