There’s so much buzzing right now about building generative alternatives, not simply despairing about what’s been lost. So many activists, artists, legal scholars, stewards, and entrepreneurs are looking to do things differently, to be in right relationship with the planet.
How do we look beyond capitalism into a future that works with the natural world? How do we work at the scale of trust and accountability to support radically creative solutions to ecological and social problems without relying on exploitative systems that are only accelerating collapse?
Magic Canoe turns to Indigenous values and leadership. We amplify hubs of action and solutions that work. We follow the vitality of wild salmon.
We think and act less in terms of nation-states and more like a bioregion — a complex interweave of community, human and more-than-human, ocean and mountain, and transboundary collaborations to chart the choppy waters ahead.
Here are the most-read Magic Canoe stories this year. New to our platform? These features are a perfect place to start. We’re excited for 2026, and we’re thrilled you’ve joined us.
