Mainstream coverage rarely captures the complexity of Indigenous life. Here, Indigenous creators take the lead. Their voices appear exactly as sourced—not filtered through traditional media platforms.
The project covers more than a thousand organizations worldwide and includes blogs, digital magazines, videos, podcasts, online newspapers, and other materials that convey real experiences, heritage, and activism.

Focus on twentieth-first-century primary sources (new media)
By centering on new media, this project lifts up voices that traditional collections miss, capturing Indigenous conversations and stories as they unfold—immediate, honest, and grounded in lived experience. This content pushes back against stereotypes, corrects misinformation, and makes a stronger case for equity. It’s a resource built for real-world impact.
A mission to preserve
Approximately 200,000 pages are preserved in a permanent archive for future scholars and advocates. Included are the restored records of many organizations, significant in their times, that have ceased to exist due to loss of funding, political pressure, or censorship.
Prioritized is the preservation of at-risk content from regions where political instability, silencing, or systemic oppression threaten its survival—the voices of the Crimean Tatars, the Wet'suwet’en, and the Ainu are examples.
Indigenous Peoples Social Justice and Culture safeguards content against erasure, preserves history, and serves as a catalyst for understanding and honest dialogue. Critical stories and cultural expressions can endure as a testament to resilience and resistance.
