Storytelling With Heart

Compelling stories of inspirational people, strength and resiliency, breakthroughs in culture, business, education, reconciliation and hope.

Two Canoes brings a new perspective to marketing and video production – an Indigenous perspective.

We have learned from our Elders to preserve and share First People’s stories in a dynamic and adaptive way that demonstrates what is happening today while maintaining core cultural values and principles. Principles like, connections to land and nature.

Our storytelling embraces a wide range of narratives, reflecting the diversity and uniqueness of our culture, languages and experiences across our country.

We are an award-winning Indigenous-owned Film and Marketing Company, focused on producing high-quality, stunning content with strong storytelling. Nestled in the heart of Treaty 7 Alberta, some of our notable awards include Best Documentary at the American Documentary and Best Alberta Short atthe Calgary International Film Festival for our documentary, Ayoungman, which was submitted for the 2023 Academy Award for Best Documentary Short. Two Canoes was founded in 2020, our company’s leader, Holly Fortier, who had been teaching sensitivity training across the country, saw a need for creative input from a First People’s marketing and production company. Today, Holly brings her expertise to every Two Canoes project. It is our focus, and our goal, to tell Indigenous stories, the Indigenous way.
