Actor
Even though I have several starring roles under my belt, I feel like my acting career is just getting underway and I’m excited about what’s next.
Musician
Creating music and sharing it with others is my passion. Browse my songs, visit me on Apple Music or Spotify, and take a listen.
Artist
I love to paint. Whether it’s oils, acrylics or watercolors, I try to capture subjects that are important to me and to share them with others.
Hi, I’m Kiawentiio
I’m a Kanie’kehaka/Mohawk actress, singer, and artist. Currently, I’m working on my role as Katara in Netflix’s live-action remake of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
I’ve always been creative, but one day I found myself at an open call for a major recurring character in the final season of the CBC/Netflix’s popular series, Anne with an ‘E’. I didn’t know it, but I was competing against more than 200 other actors!
In 2020, I also starred in my first feature film, Beans, which premiered at TIFF to rave reviews. Beans tells the story of a young girl, coming of age during Canada’s Oka Crisis. The film, directed by the award-winning Tracey Deer, won the Crystal Bear at Berlinale and just opened wide in theaters across North America.
Recently, I’ve been working on Peacock’s new comedy series, Rutherford Falls, starring Ed Helms.
I’m also a singer and songwriter. I wrote and perform the song “Light At The End”, which plays over the final credits of Beans and my first EP, In My Head, dropped in 2021.
