While the disease of aggression cannot be eradicated, the doctrine of domination it’s founded on can be constrained. By examining the colonialism of globalization that targets indigenous nations, activist scholars illuminate the essence of the conflict between capitalism and the Fourth World. As the system of theft of settler states like Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States is called into question under the international human rights regime, inoculating vulnerable populations against the disease of aggression is imperative.
On the January 10 Global Research News Hour, host Michael Welch interviews indigenous activist Robert Animiiki Horton and Professor Anthony Hall about the historical and legal backdrop to indigenous resistance in Canada, and the challenges facing Idle No More.
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
