Makwa's Story
Makwa Creative is a fully Indigenous-owned production company.
We focus on sharing Indigenous stories from a creative perspective, and to support Indigenous creators to reach a wider audience in TV, documentaries, podcasts, and digital media.
We direct and produce film and TV series which respect the powerful truths and knowledge systems of Indigenous peoples from Canada.
Makwa means black bear in Ojibwe with many stories about its roles and contributions on Turtle Island. Makwa Creative was started to give voice and stage to Indigenous creators sharing about the resilience of Indigenous peoples.
Makwa Creative works closely with Antica Productions and Westwood Creative Artists to bring life to Indigenous stories.
