Indigenous Stewardship

What Happens When Indigenous Nations Take Back Their Lands

September 14, 2025 John Ahni Schertow, Intercontinental Cry. , , ,
Few phrases spark more panic in Canada than “land back.” The moment people hear it, a familiar fear floods the air: Are they going to take over? Kick us out of our homes? Erase entire towns? We saw how this hysteria plays out in Oka, Gustafsen lake, and Caledonia. Headlines screamed disruption and disorder. In each case, the public fixated on road blockades, police and military clashes, and ‘vengeful’ protesters while largely ignoring the deeper story of Indigenous Peoples that were simply standing their ground. The recent Cowichan ruling sparked the same colonial reflex: homeowners braced for eviction, commentators predicted chaos, and officials rushed to reassure the public.

Indigenous Stewardship Is The Ignored Climate Solution

August 27, 2025 Robert Muggah, Intercontinental Cry. , , , , ,
As the world stumbles toward climate tipping points, a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that among the most powerful defenders of nature are not satellites or carbon markets, but people – Indigenous peoples. From the rainforests of the Amazon to the boreal forests of Canada, Indigenous stewardship may be one of the most high-impact and cost-effective strategies to mitigate climate change, preserve biodiversity, and disrupt environmental crimes. Indigenous peoples occupy, use, or manage over a quarter of the Earth’s surface, including many of its most ecologically intact regions. These territories often overlap with areas of high carbon density and biodiversity richness.
