20th Anniversary of the Talking Stick Festival

Sea­son of Four Fires

Full Cir­cle calls to the Four Direc­tions and All Our Rela­tions to gath­er around Four Fires, in each sea­son: win­ter, spring, sum­mer, and fall.

The Fire calls us into Right Rela­tions with each oth­er. Cel­e­brat­ing acts of artis­tic trans­for­ma­tion, cre­ative defi­ance, com­mu­ni­ty-build­ing and mak­ing space for all voic­es.  Past, present, and future are All sparks of our Sacred Fire and inspire us to Acknowl­edge and Hon­or the Sacred Teach­ings and Knowl­edge that our Elders have offered to us for the well-being of All our Communities.

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.

Full Cir­cle: First Nations Per­for­mance is a char­i­ta­ble orga­ni­za­tion. Pro­ceeds go toward com­mu­ni­ty out­reach oppor­tu­ni­ties, mak­ing local the­atre acces­si­ble to the less for­tu­nate. For more infor­ma­tion, click “Donate Now!” to view our Cana­da Helps cam­paign.
