Support – The VA Network

Support the project

Born from the fire, drawn in the sand, and carried in the stories of those who came before.

the flame that calls us forward

Listen. Can you hear it?
The quiet crackle of a flame that has burned since before time began to be counted. Do you feel its heat, burning inside your chest, in your belly, where you big spirit resides. This is not a flame that consumes, but one that illuminates, that guides, that gathers us in the circle. This fire does not burn on its own, it never has. Since the first story was told, the first song was sung, the first dance moved across the earth, this flame has been passed from hand to hand, from heart to heart, from generation to generation. It is carried, tended, and kept alive by many hands, by many spirits, by all who gather here, by all who share, by all who give not for personal gain, but for something far greater.
When you support The VA Network, you are not simply funding a platform, purchasing content, buying products from the relentless commercial machine. You are stepping into an ancient pattern of care, a living current that flows between all beings. You are acknowledging that the stories shared here, the wisdom offered, the beauty created – these are not commodities to be consumed, but sacred gifts that carry responsibilities.

Living under the law of the land. Living in the pattern of reciprocity.

Be A Part of the Story

100% of all profits flows directly back to the communities, the custodians, and the causes that need it most.
This is not about charity; it is about reciprocity. It is not about giving from above; it is about participating in a circle where resources move like water, like breath, finding their way to where they can nurture new growth, heal old wounds, and strengthen ancient roots.
 
There are many ways to step into this circle, to add your breath to this flame. Each represents not just a transaction, but an invitation to deeper relationship, to meaningful participation in this work of cultural revitalization and narrative sovereignty.
When you support this work, you are helping to ensure that the stories, the knowledge, and the wisdom shared here create real, tangible impact. That they heal, that they strengthen, that they restore balance. Your contribution, whether through donations, partnerships, or simply sharing the stories that move you, becomes part of a living system where value flows in many directions – where the storyteller is honored, where the land is tended, where the next generation finds the tools and teachings they need to carry the flame forward.

Your support is more than a contribution. It is an act of stewardship.

In a world fragmented by extraction and individualism, your support represents something profound – a remembering of our interdependence, a recognition that we thrive or falter together. Each contribution, whether financial or through sharing these stories with others, helps to reweave the fabric of connection that has been torn by colonialism, capitalism, and disconnection from the land.

Every act of generosity a step toward amplifying the voices that must be heard, safeguarding the wisdom that can guide us, and nurturing the relationships that hold us all in balance.

This is your invitation to be part of something greater – to help keep the fire burning, to ensure these stories not only survive but thrive, and to strengthen the sacred connections that weave us all together.

Sit beside us. Tend the fire. Help hold the heart that carries the stories, and the voice that inspires the changes we need. Together, we can create a future where the wisdom of the past illuminates the way forward, where every story lives, and where the fire never goes out.

Now is the time – step into the circle.

As part of the One Fire Festival, we invite you to gather around a virtual campfire like no other. Our Campfire Sounds are more than just crackling embers and gentle winds; they are the harmonious rhythms of Indigenous artists’ worlds. These captivating audio landscapes are created by the artists themselves, who share their sacred fires burning on their ancestral lands. As you immerse yourself in these evocative sounds, you’ll be enveloped in the warmth of their stories and culture, forging a deep connection to the heart of Indigenous artistry. Join us for this unique fireside experience, where the flames dance to the beat of Indigenous wisdom, and the stories of their lands come alive
