Event Details

Feasting Our Words builds our collective Fire

through our songs, dance, deeds, and stories

A way to remember our

Sacred Teachings

FEASTING OUR WORDS

to honour legacy, to celebrate abundance

We raise our hands to those who have gathered throughout this season of four fires. With gratitude, we honour those who have made possible a 20-year legacy of creative sovereignty, cultural wisdom, and Indigenous joy.

We feast in honour and remembrance for what has endured. We feast around this final fire to strengthen those who carry forth the sacred roles of artist, knowledge keeper, warrior, teacher, leader and learner.

Our work around these four fires has been an echo of our ancestor’s sacred teachings and a call to the future ancestors within us all. Gather now to feast our words, to ensure a lineage of Indigenous abundance, and to harvest a collective embodiment of ancestral hope.

Full Circle

Full Circle: First Nations Performance is a non-profit society and registered charity that creates opportunities for Indigenous artists. Margo Kane (Cree/Saulteaux), an interdisciplinary artist and Indigenous arts leader, founded Full Circle in 1992. Upon establishing Full Circle, Kane's vision was to make a profound contribution to the development of Indigenous performance in Canada. In 2018 Full Circle: First Nations Performance launched the Múyuntstut ta Slúlum Live Series. The Múyuntstut ta Slúlum Live Series aims to offer learning and career-enhancing opportunities to Indigenous musical artists through the sharing of ideas and knowledge and through the exploration of contemporary Indigenous music. Múyuntsut ta Slúlum comes from the Squamish Nation and means ‘to submerge/sink/immerse yourself in songs/music’. It is an open invitation to music industry professionals, established, emerging and aspiring, to work in reciprocity and from a strengths-based perspective to support and ensure the ongoing development of Indigenous music. This series has been supported by funding from Creative BC, FACTOR and SOCAN.info@fullcircle.ca #416-268 Keefer Street Vancouver, BC V6A 1X5
