Ishkōdé Records is a new Indigenous and women-owned label created to foster and amplify Indigenous voices. Ishkōdé Records arrives to amplify and advocate for Indigenous artists, songs and stories in the commercial music landscape. Led by artists, organizers and activists Anishinaabekwe Shoshona Kish (Digging Roots) and solo artist Métis Amanda Rheaume, Ishkōdé approaches the independent label operations through the lens of female artist entrepreneurship, long-standing industry experience and cultural and ancestral processes. The word Ishkōdé means fire in Anishinaabemowin.
