The struggle for Indigenous Rights is without exaggeration the most important issue in the world today. While some would argue that it’s merely a fruitless effort to keep living in the past, this struggle is dedicated to securing a healthy and sustainable way of life, for all of us.
In order to achieve that quintessential goal–securing the future–Indigenous Peoples and their allies find themselves face to face with the conflicting policies, beliefs, perceptions, laws and interests of governments, corporations, religious institutions, non-profit organizations, paramilitary groups, and organized settler populations. What’s more, there is often internal struggle with presiding indigenous leaders, friends and associates buying into outsider interests at the expense of the nation.
The successful end to just one of these struggles–of which there are hundreds–can have far reaching national and international impacts.
Despite the enormity of this situation, however, the world’s media continues to falter like it’s just another day at the office. There is little interest in covering the struggles of Indigenous Peoples.
Here at Intercontinental Cry Magazine, we strive to write about each and every struggle, no matter where it takes us. We are devoted to the global indigenous movement and we know what’s on the line.
If you’re like us and if you have a passion for writing combined with a strong work ethic, we hope you will consider working with us.

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,
