Take a seat around the campfire.
Close your eyes. Feel the warmth on your skin, the rhythm of the flames whispering ancient truths, and listen – not just with your ears, but with the part of you that remembers. The part that knows the land beneath you, the stars above you, and the space in between. This is where it begins. In the glow of the fire, in the sacred space of connection. This is where stories are born, where they rise like sparks into the night, carrying wisdom from the past into the future.
The VA Network is a digital campfire, a not for profit streaming platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of Indigenous and First Nations peoples and their allies. Through the power of storytelling, film, art, and song we promote cultural preservation, foster global connection, and inspire action for conservation and collective healing whilst passing down the only tools that will last, and always be relevant – Good Story.
Every story shared, every voice uplifted, and every relation formed fuels a movement to honor the past, heal the present, and inspire a more connected future.
So come closer. Sit beside the fire. Let the smoke sing to you, let the land speak through you, and let the stories guide you.
Welcome to the VA Network – a place where connection is the flame, and storytelling is the spark that lights the way forward. Here, the fire is always burning, and the stories are waiting for those ready to listen

- Connect to Country. Connect to self.
All knowledge lives within the web of relations. It is not stagnant, nor does it sit alone; it moves, breathes, and thrives in the sacred spaces in between all things.
That space is the VA – the spaces in-between. Not a space that separates but relates. The space where connection hums, meaning is made, and all knowledge is stored. It is the heartbeat of reciprocity, the rhythm of respect, the sacred current that ties land to people, people to spirit, and past to future through the choices we make. This is where all the worlds’ wisdom resides – not locked in static facts in books, but in the living relationships we nurture with all the human and nonhuman entities in a landscape.
Everything we are, everything we do, is woven into the great, ever-shifting pattern of creation. This has been known by different cultures all over the world, known by different names, different symbols, different metaphors, but always known. Since before time was counted stories have been the vessels of wisdom, the maps that guide us, the songs that carry us. They teach us values, offer perspectives, and help us remember the balance we’ve forgotten. Through stories, we are guided back to our role – not as takers or owners, but as custodians of creation, responsible for tending the web of life that holds us all.

Increasing What is known.
Increasing What Can be known.
It’s not about the What but the How. Not about the Things but the Ways. Ways of being, ways of thinking, ways of growing together. This campfire isn’t here to hold knowledge – it’s here to increase what can be known.
By embracing Indigenous ways of knowing we can remember how to live well, in balance, in relation. These ways aren’t about hoarding wisdom; they are about honoring the space in between. The truth doesn’t sit with one person or one perspective – it’s in the aggregate, in the shared yarns, the collective weaving of stories that build consensus, for we all hold a piece of the pattern of creation. We just have to bring them all together, and share our stories freely, and remember that we are all one – one people, one fire.
So come sit with ss around the fire. Bring your story, your your experience, your truth, your contribution to the pyre. Together let’s build something that goes beyond entertainment – something that connects, that heals that moves Us-All forward. Because this isn’t just a campfire. It’s a call. A call to remember who we are and who we’re meant to be. The fire is lit. The circle is open. The rest is up to Us, together.
