MICHIF KOONTEUR MEANS "MÉTIS STORYTELLER" 

Good storytelling is good medicine. 

Rooted in Indigenous storytelling traditions and shaped by our unique lived experiences, we apply the principle of two-eyed seeing: honouring both traditional Indigenous knowledge and fair Western practices to benefit all people.

Every project is guided by the belief that stories are meant to provoke thought, inspire connection, and encourage a better future. With a focus on identity, mental health, intergenerational trauma, and cultural reclamation, the company is committed to ethical, community-centered filmmaking that upholds Indigenous data sovereignty and cultural integrity.

Michif Koonteur’s work has been internationally recognized at Cannes, the Banff World Media Festival, and the European Film Market at Berlinale. With a growing slate of impactful screen projects, including the genre feature Ancestral Beasts, the company is building a sustainable, values-driven future for Indigenous media — one story at a time.
