Intercontinental Cry (IC) needs your help to launch a new weekly podcast that covers the Indigenous world. Right now, we have 43 people on board which means we need to find another 57 to get started. We have four weeks to make it happen!
Why are we doing this? Two years ago, the northern broadcasting legend and Inuvialuit leader, Les Carpenter, asked me to produce a show that would focus on the world’s 5,000 Indigenous nations. We spent two years approaching foundations to produce the show; but no one was interested in backing something by Indigenous peoples for Indigenous Peoples. Now we are doing it with everyone for everyone.
It’s our goal to bring you a hard-hitting 30-minute report each week that covers everything you need to know. We are calling it, “The Indigenous Rights Report“.
Heard enough? We hope not. Head over to Patreon now or visit IC and click “become a patron”.
Once we reach our goal of 100 supporters, we will have what we need to bring the indigenous world to your headphones and to every indigenous and community radio station across the country.
And that’s only the beginning. As our show grows and matures, we want to launch more podcasts that no one has ever seen before. We already have a few shows in mind; but let’s not get a head of ourselves. In order to do anything, we need you to head over to Patreon now and support The Indigenous Rights Report!
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
