The narration woven throughout the documentary is a Cree story of creation. It’s a fitting backdrop for this show that features the people of Muskoday First Nation in Saskatchewan and their effort to sustain their community by turning to the traditional Aboriginal practice of organic farming and by creating the Muskoday Organic Growers Co-operative.
The Great Laws of Nature was directed by Noah Erenberg and co-produced by Les Productions Rivard and Media RendezVous. It is a part of One With Nature, a television series on APTN that profiles existing environmental initiatives and explores the issues currently affecting Indigenous communities.
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
