Become a Firekeeper

At IndigiNews, we believe that storytelling is a sacred fire—one that keeps our communities warm, lit, and connected. When you become a Firekeeper, you help us tend to that fire with care, purpose, and truth. Your monthly support fuels Indigenous journalism that honours our stories, uplifts our voices, and reflects our brilliance—not just our pain.

Whether you give a little or a lot, you’re helping keep the fire burning.

Help us decolonize the media by becoming an IndigiNews supporter.


Frequently Asked Questions

Where does my support go?

Your support fuels the whole IndigiNews team — fair wages for reporters and editors to social media, audience outreach, design, and leadership. Every dollar you give helps us share stories that reflect Indigenous perspectives, maintain our digital home, and build space for truth-telling and care in journalism. Every contribution strengthens our independence and our ability to serve community with integrity.

What do I get if I become a supporter?

You get the satisfaction of knowing that you contributed directly to a media organization that aims to serve Indigenous communities through trauma-informed practice. You also get supporter-only emails with additional behind-the-scenes news and insights on where your money goes. (And you’ll get invitations to supporter-only events as they become available!)

How can I contribute without going through the website?

You can send an e-transfer to: admin@indiginews.com. If you’d rather send a cheque, you can send it to The Discourse (our sister company):

Will my contribution be considered a charitable donation for tax purposes?
