Today, as we honour Human Rights Day, we recognize that Indigenous rights are human rights. In this spirit, we are extending our Giving Tuesday campaign, grounding it in the time of the Winter Solstice, and deepening our commitment to uplifting Indigenous rights and sovereignty.   

This Giving Tuesday, let’s disrupt the status quo & support Indigenous-led solutions to the climate crisis. We’re leading a different approach—one rooted in reciprocity—recognizing that we are all in relationship with the land & with each other. Reciprocity invites us to give not out of obligation but as an act of shared responsibility.

Like so many, we are devastated by the emboldened rise of the far right and re-election of Trump South of the Medicine Line. We have taken some time to digest this news and reflect on how we respond to such a grotesque display of neo-colonialism.

Indigenous Climate Action (ICA) to invite you to apply for our Sovereignty in Action (SIA) Awards - awarding micro grants (up to $3,000) to small, grassroots Indigenous-led groups and projects!

Watch the panel discussion: Invest in Indigenous Sovereignty with Indigenous Climate Action & Sacred Earth Solar

Join us Tuesday, September 24, 2024 for hybrid panel discussion: Invest in Indigenous Sovereignty. This panel will explore lessons learned from Indigenous activists and land defenders, and will explore how we can take knowledge and apply it toward advancing Indigenous-led divestment in relation to global climate action.

For us, the journey is just as important as the end. As we move forward with plans to strengthen ICA, we are doing so with ongoing support from others and in relationships within the ecosystems that support us. Read more.

Reflecting on Indigenous Peoples Day is a time to celebrate resilience, unique cultures and ways of knowing, and a day to highlight Indigenous brilliance!

The ICA team would like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all our allies, friends, and relatives who showed up to donate and support Indigenous sovereignty from June 21 to July 1!

This year, from Indigenous Peoples Day (June 21) to Anti-Canada Day (July 1), we are rallying support from our allies to nurture Indigenous Solidarity through donations to our Solidarity In Action Awards.
