Every month, the Indigenous Rights Report Podcast will bring listeners front-line coverage of Indigenous struggles, Indigenous victories, and Indigenous brilliance that keeps moving forward against all odds. From community-led resistance against extractive projects to historic legal wins and cultural revitalization efforts, this podcast will amplify the stories that mainstream headlines too often ignore.
For nearly two decades, IC has served as a vital platform for Indigenous voices and grassroots journalism. With the launch of this podcast, we’re extending that mission into the audio space—making it even easier for educators, journalists, activists, and everyday allies to stay informed and engaged.
Each episode will feature:
The Indigenous Rights Report Podcast is more than just news—it’s a reminder that resistance, resurgence, and renewal are happening every day.
Mark your calendars: The first episode drops May 9, 2024 exclusively for our followers on Patreon.
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
