We know there’s alot of great news providers out there asking for donations; but how many of them really need it?
We don’t like to talk about this; but, the fact is, IC’s two most prolific writers can’t even afford to pay for the internet. If we lose them, we will lose the only online grassroots magazine for the global Indigenous movement.
To help make sure that doesn’t happen, please consider donating or becoming a sustainer https://icmagazine.org/donate/
As a volunteer-run magazine, IC doesn’t receive any funding from governments, corporations or private foundations. The only way we can sustain our work, is with your help.
And if you ask us, we do need to continue our work. On average, The world’s top mainstream news providers offer just 1 per cent of the stories that we cover. The top alternative news providers, on the other hand, offer less than 10 per cent.
We’re all about covering the stories they ignore, and making sure that you can read them in an open environment that’s free of ads, gimmicks, cheap thrills and anything else that wastes your time and intelligence.
If that’s something you can get behind, then please, help us raise the funds we need for 2013!

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
