People all across the world are realizing that we’ve become increasingly unaware of our connection to place—our connection to the forces outside of our own creations—reminding us that the ways in which we connect and resonate with the environment dictate how we respond to the most pressing issues of our time: global climate change, deforestation, species extinction, and social inequality, to name a few.
As a response to these challenges, Immemorial embodies an historical, cultural, and ecological investigation project that works through art to celebrate the bond between human expression and the natural world.
Driven by the idea that art can be used for eco-cultural education and impact, Immemorial is meant to catalyze meaningful reflection on how we interact with environments. The hope is to encourage new—and illuminate old—ways of being in relation to the Earth.
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
