Explore Indigenous Culture through the Arts

First Nations Performance is a non-profit arts society that creates opportunities for Indigenous artists. Proudly located on the traditional, unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, Full Circle produces programs and events such as the annual Talking Stick Festival to share history, stories and experiences of the First Nations People through their artistic work.
