Christina Jean Keeper CM OM MSM (born March 20, 1962) is a Canadian-Cree actress, film producer and former politician who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for the riding of Churchill from 2006 to 2008 Canadian federal election.
First known for her role as RCMP officer Michelle Kenidi in the CBC Television series North of 60, she was elected to the House of Commons of Canada in the 2006 Canadian federal election, and served as a Liberal Party of Canada Member of Parliament representing the electoral district of Churchill. Following her defeat in the 2008 Canadian federal election she returned to film and television, and continues to work as both an actress and a film producer.
A member of the Norway House Cree Nation in northern Manitoba, she was born in Winnipeg. She is the granddaughter of Olympic long distance runner Joe Keeper and the daughter of Joseph I. Keeper, a member of the Order of Canada, and Phyllis Keeper (née Beardy), an Anglican priest.
Keeper studied history and theatre at the University of Winnipeg. Originally planning to become a history professor, she instead became an actor after getting involved in an indigenous theatre company in Winnipeg.
Keeper had a number of supporting roles in film, most notably in the National Film Board of Canada docudrama short For Angela, before being cast in North of 60 in 1992. She was a five-time Gemini Award nominee for Best Actress in a Continuing Leading Dramatic Role for her work on the series, winning the award at the 11th Gemini Awards in 1997. At the 9th Gemini Awards in 1995, she also received a Gemini nomination for Performance in a Children's or Youth Program or Series, for her performance in For Angela.
Following the end of North of 60 as a regular series, Keeper continued her role as Michelle Kenidi in several North of 60 television films, and appeared in the films Heater, Skins and On the Corner, until she decided to seek the Liberal nomination in Churchill in 2005.
In 2010, Keeper partnered with Buffalo Gal Pictures to co-produce with Animikisee Digital Pictures the APTN drama series Cashing In. More recently she has acted in the television series Mohawk Girls, Heartland and Acting Good, and the films Through Black Spruce, Falls Around Her and Stellar.
A partner in the film production firm Kistikan Pictures, she was a producer of Through Black Spruce, as well as the films Road of Iniquity, Sky Stories and REDress Redress Project. In 2014 she participated in the creation of Going Home Star, a Royal Winnipeg Ballet production on the theme of indigenous reconciliation.
