After the News, the Truth-Telling

Firestick is a new six-part talk series featuring First Nations visionaries who are blazing a trail and lighting the way for future generations in diverse industries from video game design to global fashion.

Drawing on the long history of firestick farming, an Indigenous land management practice that uses controlled back-burning to promote new growth, this First Nations–led conversation series is designed to ignite dialogue and broaden perspectives. Held in the Gold Melting Room at The Mint, it provides a welcoming and timely platform that encourages meaningful discussion and a deeper understanding of Indigenous innovation and agency. The series is designed to encourage informal post-talk gatherings and discussions between the speakers and audience, with a food and drink offer available in the courtyard.
