Biografia
Nôses Kisik-Papimohtew (Mother Walks-in-the-Sky), also known as Roseanne Supernault, is a classically trained actress raised on the East Prairie Métis Settlement and originating from the Whitefish Lake Atikameg First Nation in Canada's Treaty 8 territory. Born into Treaty 8 to a politician father and an artist mother, her diverse upbringing included classical training in art, theatre, and dance; maintaining her cultural hunting and land rights as a Cree Métis; and exposure to Indigenous Peoples' politics and social justice movements in Canada. Her path shifted toward the arts when a Los Angeles casting director discovered her at age 13, leading to her signing with a talent agency and a steadily growing career as a performer.
She is well-known for her role in the APTN hit series "Blackstone," where her powerful performance earned her several awards; the historical pre-contact epic "Maina," in which she portrayed the title character and won Best Actress at the American Indian Film Festival; and the groundbreaking feature "Rhymes for Young Ghouls" by Jeff Barnaby, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and was named among TIFF’s Top 10.
Supernault appears in multiple book-to-film adaptations, including "Neither Wolf Nor Dog," where she played twins alongside Dave Bald Eagle, Christopher Sweeney, and Tatanka Means; and "Juliana and the Medicine Fish," co-starring Adam Beach and Emma Tremblay. She featured in Sky1's "Jamestown," sharing the screen with a prominent English and Native American cast, produced by the creators of "Downton Abbey." She also attended the Cannes International Film Festival with the sci-fi film "The Northlander," for which she received a Best Actress nomination at the American Indian Film Festival.
Recently, she starred as Jo in CTV Comedy’s top-rated series "Acting Good," also streaming on Crave, acting opposite stand-up comedian Paul Rabliauskas. She appeared in the Canadian hit film "Guitar Lessons," which enjoyed a highly successful theatrical run, and is currently producing and directing her feature film debut, "Dusk & Dawn," a dark comedy ensemble that she also wrote and produced.
Supernault has earned multiple acting nominations and awards, including Best Actress for "Maina," "Blackstone," and "Every Emotion Costs," as well as 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 role in Berkley Brady’s directorial debut "Dark Nature," portraying a soldier with PTSD confronting a dark entity during a healing retreat in the Rocky Mountains.
Her stage work includes a critically acclaimed performance in "Dreary and Izzy," where she portrayed a First Nations woman with FASD. She continues her storytelling journey as a producer and filmmaker through her production companies Flying Up Moon and Magnate.
Supernault is trained in theatre, film, and television. She graduated after four years at Victoria School of the Arts, an institution dedicated not only to the history of the arts but to active practice and immersion in the field, where she discovered her passion.
