Indigenous Artist

Renae is a Cree (nehiyaw iskwew ᓀᐦᐃᔭᐤ ᐃᐢᑫᐧᐤ) and Saulteaux woman (nahkawiskwêw ᓇᐦᑲᐃᐧᐢᑫᐧᐤ) from the Treaty 1 Territory. She’s been creating artistic works for a long time and has journeyed across Canada and internationally in film, television, theatre and music. As an actress, writer, producer and director in both television and theatre, she has honed her skills by observing, listening, and supporting the artistic works of many individuals who has helped her in understanding artistic passion and focus, tempered with creative vulnerability in sharing
community stories in a good way - miyopimatisowin ᒥᔪᐱᒪᑎᓱᐃᐧᐣ.

She is honoured to have received cultural teachings within her family through social and ceremonial songs and stories, but also with the Secwepemc, Okanagan, Nlaka’pamux, Cree and Anishinaabe peoples.  kinanâskomitin ᑭᓇᓈᐢᑯᒥᑎᐣ - I am grateful.
