Mike Innu Papu Mckenzie

Originally from Mani-Utenam on the Côte Nord, Mike Innu Papu McKenzie studied in Uashat and Chicoutimi before coming back to Uashat mak Mani-Utenam in the 1990s to host at the community radio station. He later worked as a student life facilitator at the reserve’s high school, while also doing construction work. In 2007, Mike produced and directed a comedy in both movie and audio format entitled Innu Papu (Laughing Innus), in which he also starred. He has been working on the Innu Takuaikan Uashat mak Mani-Utenam Band Council and has already completed two mandates as a political advisor. In spring 2017, director Myriam Verreault approached him, having recognized that his rich, diverse background would make him the perfect candidate for the part of Claude Vollant in Kuessipan.
