- **Event Name**: WALKING THROUGH THE FIRE- Indigenous Collaborations with Sultans of String
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 16 Oct, 2025 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Off the Grid Productions is thrilled to present the amazing musical multimedia production Walking Through the Fire.

Walking Through The Fire brings the magic of collaboration to the stage, with award-winning First Nations, Métis, and Inuit artists from across Turtle Island joined by Billboard charting, six-time Canadian Folk Music Award winners Sultans of String!

Walking Through The Fire is an experience unlike any other. From Métis fiddling to an East Coast Kitchen Party, rumba to rock, to the drumming of the Pacific Northwest, experience the beauty and diversity of music from Turtle Island with Alyssa Delbaere-Sawchuk of the Métis Fiddler Quartet, Ojibwe/Finnish Singer-Songwriter Marc Meriläinen (Nadjiwan), Coast Tsm’syen Singer-Songwriter Shannon Thunderbird and Algonquin First Nations dancer Josée Bourgeois--as well as virtual guests joining in on the big screen including the Northern Cree pow wow group, Dr. Duke Redbird and more!

A central theme running through Walking Through The Fire is the need for the truth of Indigenous experience to be told before reconciliation can begin in earnest. Embedded in the title of the show is the energy of rebirth: fire destroys, but it also nourishes the soil to create new growth, beauty, and resiliency. Walking Through The Fire ensures that we emerge on the other side together, stronger and more unified.
