The 3rd Continental Summit of Indigenous Nations and Peoples, which began on March 26 in Iximulew, Guatemala came to an end yesterday…
Unfortunately, beyond what’s already posted here (see the links to the right of the page) and what follows below, there has been ZERO coverage of the Summit. As Nations States continue to misrepresent and mischaracterize indigenous people in the Americas, I find this especially disturbing.
Here is everything I’ve been able to find:
(1) There’s a blog by Marc Becker who posted a few articles and uploaded a number of photos from the Summit.
(2) if you know how to read Spanish, there are a number of documents available, including the declaration… (If by chance anyone can translate that into English, please don’t hesitate to do so. People in the North really need to be more aware of what’s going on with all of this.)
(3) Here’s a few articles:
Indigenous peoples summit: defending their right to the land
Indigenous Summit Demands Dignity
Indigenous Summit for land, against Neoliberalism
(4) Lastly, I did find a number of videos from the Summit, but at the moment they don’t seem to be working. I’m looking into putting them up on youtube and displaying them here.
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
