TORONTO - A new record label owned and operated by two prominent Indigenous women is striving to "foster and amplify Indigenous voices" under a partnership with Universal Music Canada.
Ishkodé Records is led by musicians ShoShona Kish and Amanda Rheaume, founders of the International Indigenous Music Summit.
In their launch announcement, they say the label's name "Ishkodé" means fire in Anishinaabemowin.
The guiding principle of the record label is "Songs for the Eighth Fire," a reference to the Anishinaabe's Seven Fires prophecy, which "heralds an epoch of eternal peace when Indigenous peoples and settler communities together build the eighth and final fire of justice and harmony."
