Scháyilhen (pronounced S-ch-eye-yay-lh-un) means “Salmon Going Up River” – and speaks to the Traditional Values and Teachings of this communal journey we are taking.
This series is a 4 day forum (February 16 – 19) which invites arts presenters, artists, scholars, funders, and audience members together to further the development and strength of Indigenous arts.
Over four (4) days this series builds upon previous Industry Series Events to further imagine and develop the strengths and significance of Indigenous performing arts.
One pass for the Scháyilhen Talking Stick Industry Series is $150. This includes 4 days of all access to conversations, performances and hospitality. Individual sessions are at suggested ‘drop-in fee of $15+ catering costs if applicable.
Due to limited space, we recommend advance registration.
Proudly located on the traditional, un-ceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, Full Circle: First Nations Performance presents the 17th Annual Talking Stick Festival. Drawing meaning from the salmon’s journey to their spawning grounds, 2018’s festival is aptly named Scháyilhen (S-ch-eye-yay-lh-un), which translates literally to "Salmon Going Up River"; and speaks to the journey the community is taking towards embracing and celebrating Indigenous art forms and practices.
