Music company that amplifies Indigenous voices for a time of healing, freedom & wholeness | Songs for the Eighth Fire 🔥

Ishkōdé Records is a new Indigenous and women-owned label created to foster and amplify Indigenous voices. Ishkōdé Records arrives to amplify and advocate for Indigenous artists, songs and stories in the commercial music landscape. Led by artists, organizers and activists Anishinaabekwe Shoshona Kish (Digging Roots) and solo artist Métis Amanda Rheaume, Ishkōdé approaches the independent label operations through the lens of female artist entrepreneurship, long-standing industry experience and cultural and ancestral processes. The word Ishkōdé means fire in Anishinaabemowin.

Last week, Ishkōdé General Manager Erin Kinghorn attended BIGSOUND 2026 as part of CIMA/ MMF Canada’s business mission. 🇦🇺

Chi miigwetch to CIMA and MMF Canada for creating this opportunity, to the Canadian Consulate in Sydney for hosting us, and to Natalie Lingwoodock and QMusic/BigSound for the invitation to speak and hosting our visit to Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island). It was an honour to meet Elder Raymond and members of the community there.

We’re grateful to have been part of this week in Brisbane and to bring these conversations and connections home with us.

Last weekend in Toronto, Logan Staats and the Mikinakoos Children's Fund came together for a benefit concert at The Concert Hall, supporting forest fire relief in Northern Ontario and raising funds for First Nations youth impacted by the wildfire crisis.

With an incredible lineup of 25 indigenous artists, volunteers, and attendees, the event was truly something special, a powerful evening of music, community and collective action. 🧡

Mikinakoos Children’s Fund is a charity that provides basic amenities, such as food, clothing, and equipment, to First Nations children residing in remote First Nations communities. You can support their work by donating at mikinakoos.com/donate
