Jim Compton

Executive Producer

Also known as Sageeway Gheeshick, the Ojibwa name for “Rising Day,” Jim Compton works out of Winnipeg. He produced the fascinating series “Warrior Spirit,” which awakened us to the message that, universally, Indigenous Peoples carry the warrior spirit, whose potential is now being revitalized throughout the world. In 2000, Jim was appointed Program Director of the world’s first National Indigenous television network: APTN, the Aboriginal Peoples’ Television Network. Jim’s contribution is significant and lasting, and APTN continues to grow, featuring the lives, languages, history, cultures and dreams of Aboriginal Peoples in Canada and the rest of the world. Through his productions, Jim continues to bring young people into the industry, providing hope and support for many up-and-coming Indigenous visual storytellers.
