Authentic Indigenous Storytelling
For over 25 years, Gerald Auger has brought Native characters to life on screen, from Hell on Wheels to Bones of Crows. Yet the greater challenge has always been more than just acting — it has been about breaking stereotypes and bringing authentic Indigenous voices into film and television.
Walking away from Hollywood in 2009, Gerald chose to reconnect with his Woodland Cree language, culture, and spirituality. That journey of healing and rediscovery now fuels every role he takes on. His performances are not just characters — they are stories rooted in truth, resilience, and the responsibility to bridge worlds.
A Legacy in Film
For Gerald Auger, acting is more than performance — it is preservation and responsibility. Across film and television, he has carried forward the stories of Indigenous peoples with dignity, resilience, and strength. From historical leaders to contemporary figures, his characters reflect the lived realities of Native experience, bringing cultural depth and authenticity to the screen.
Each role becomes more than just a portrayal — it becomes a voice for stories that were too often silenced. By embodying truth and spirit in his performances, Gerald ensures that Indigenous narratives are not only seen but also felt. His legacy in film is not defined solely by the credits he holds, but by the bridge he continues to build between cultures, history, and the future of storytelling.
