about sally.

Sally Kewayosh is from the Walpole Island First Nation, with both Ojibway and Cree ancestry and holds degrees in Film Studies from The University of Western Ontario and a Masters of Fine Arts in Film Production from New York University, The Tisch School of the Arts. As an Indigenous woman, Sally creates films that inherently and overtly exemplify First Nation culture. While continuing her journey as a narrative storyteller, Sally founded her own production company, Achimowin Films.

In 2021, Sally joined The Faculty of Information and Media Studies at the University of Western Ontario as a Lecturer and Creative Practitioner. In addition to reacquainting herself with London, Ontario Sally is developing her first feature film - the first of what will be many films featuring both Indigenous people and culture to better educate the general public about the realities of their communities. Sally’s film ventures will also provide an avenue for giving back to the Indigenous community through educational programs and serve as a window into what will be the realm of possibility for their futures.
