Hunter is a sakāwithiniwak (Woodland Cree) theatrical artist and Indigenous myth architect. He is co-founder and director of story at Naheyawin, an agency based in Edmonton, Alberta, that serves as a bridge between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. In this role, Hunter works diligently with his sister to help Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples strengthen their communities through working together. He is driven to innovate systems using ancient Indigenous governance principles that make space for and welcome all marginalized peoples.

Through storytelling and his responsibilities as a Treaty person, Hunter strives to invite all Canadians to peer through an Indigenous lens and welcome them to their shared journey together in the spirit of peace, friendship, and understanding, woven into the Numbered Treaties by his ancestors. Hunter views storytelling as much-needed medicine and draws from this belief in all of his artistic endeavours with a background in acting and improvisational theatre.

Holding a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting from the University of Alberta, class of 2015, Hunter has performed across Canada and off-Broadway in New York. Recent stage credits include Titus Bouffonious (Theatre Network), Lake of the Strangers (Naheyawin and Fringe Theatre) and Hamlet (Freewill Shakespeare Festival). He is humbled by the steadfast support of his community, with notable achievements to date including the 2020 Elizabeth Sterling Haynes Award for Outstanding Performance in a Supporting Role in a Comedy for his work as Fink in Titus Bouffonious, the 2019 Elizabeth Sterling Haynes Award for Outstanding New Play given to Lake of the Strangers, his first play co-written with his sister, and dubbed Edmonton’s Best Actor by Vue Weekly in 2018.
