Roseanne Supernault

Nôses Kisik-Papimohtew (Mother Walks-in-the-Sky), also known as Roseanne Supernault, is a classically trained Actress who was raised on East Prairie Métis Settlement, and also hails from the Whitefish Lake Atikameg First Nation in the Treaty 8 territory of Canada. Born in the Treaty 8 territory to a Politician Father and Artist Mother, her eclectic upbringing included classical training in art, theatre, and dance; practicing and sustaining her cultural hunting & land rights as a Cree Metis; and being exposed to the politics and social justice movements of Indigenous Peoples in Canada. Her life took a sharp turn into arts when she was discovered by a Los Angeles Casting Director at 13 and thereafter signed to a Talent Agency – she has worked steadily as a performer and has seen her profile rise steadily since.

Recognizable from the APTN hit series, “Blackstone,” where her haunting performance has garnered her several accolades; the historical, pre contact epic, “Maina,” where she plays the title character, for which she received the Best Actress Award at American Indian Film Festival; and the groundbreaking Feature, “Rhymes For Young Ghouls,” by Jeff Barnaby, that premiered at Toronto International Film Festival and was named TIFF Top 10.

She can be seen in several book-to-film adaptations, such as “Neither Wolf Nor Dog,” where she plays twins across Dave Bald Eagle, Christopher Sweeney, and Tatanka Means; and “Juliana and the Medicine Fish,” across from Adam Beach, and Emma Tremblay. She appears in Sky1’s “Jamestown” among a star studded English & Native American cast, produced by the makers of “Downton Abbey.” She attended Cannes International Film Festival with sci-fi, “The Northlander,” – for which she was also nominated for the Best Actress Award at the American Indian Film Festival.

Recently, she plays the lead role of Jo in CTV Comedy’s #1 hit series “Acting Good,” which also streams on Crave; she plays across stand up comedian Paul Rabliauskas. She also appeared in the Canadian hit film “Guitar Lessons,” which had an immensely successful theatrical run. And she is in production with her feature film directorial debut, “Dusk & Dawn,” a dark comedy ensemble piece which she also wrote and produced.

She has been nominated for and received multiple acting awards, namely Best Actress for her performances in “Maina,” “Blackstone,” “Every Emotion Costs,” and Best Supporting Actress for “Rhymes For Young Ghouls.” She was recently nominated for an A.M.P.I.A Best Actress/non-Binary award for her performance in Berkley Brady’s directorial debut “Dark Nature,” where she plays a soldier with PTSD who suffers against a dark entity while on a healing retreat in the Rocky Mountains.

Her stage performance in “Dreary and Izzy,” where she played a First Nations woman with FASD, has garnered her rave reviews from various critics. She continues on her storytelling journey as a producer and filmmaker, through her film production companies Flying Up Moon, and Magnate.

Supernault is trained in Theatre, Film, and Television. She graduated from 4 years at Victoria School of the Arts an institution focused on not only the history of the arts, but the execution and constant immersion in the field; this is where she discovered her passion.
