For over two decades, IC Magazine has done what few others dare to do: shine a light on thousands of Indigenous struggles around the world.
From the rainforests of the Amazon to the deserts of Western Australia, from the pipelines snaking through Turtle Island to the ancestral territories under siege in the Philippines, we document the truth with care, courage and clarity.
But right now, that light is at risk of going out!
Independent Indigenous journalism doesn’t run on ads, algorithms, or corporate sponsors. It runs on community. On readers like you. So if you’ve ever read a story on IC that moved you or reminded you of the power of resistance please consider making a donation today. Whether it’s $5 or $50, every contribution helps keep our site online.
We’re not asking for charity. We’re asking for solidarity.
Let’s make sure the light stays on for another powerful year!
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
