Dawn Dumont is a Plains Cree comedian and actress born and raised in Saskatchewan, Canada. Her reservation, the Okanese First Nation, is quite possibly the smallest reservation in the world but what it doesnât have in terms of land area, the people make up for in sheer head size. Dawn has made people laugh at comedy clubs across North American, including New Yorkâs Comic Strip, the New York Comedy Club, and the Improv. She began her comedy career in Toronto on stages such as Yuk Yukâs and the Laugh Resort. Dawn is currently a comedy writer for CBC Radio and the Edmonton Journal, and is a Story Editor for By the Rapids, an animation comedy series on APTN.

Dumontâs writing has been published in the anthologies Native Women in the Arts and Gatherings, as well as in Rampage Literary Journal. Her personal essay âTransformationsâ was published by Torontoâs Now Magazine. Most recently her play, Nicimis (Little Brother) was workshopped at Native Earthâs Performing Arts Weesageechak Begins to Dance Festival in Toronto, with artistic director Alanis King. She lives in Edmonton, Alberta.
