Born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, MI host/producer Rick Harp is part of the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation, located in what’s currently known as northern Saskatchewan. While pursuing a BA in political science at Carleton University in Ottawa, Harp got bit hard by the radio bug at the campus/community station, CKCU-FM. Thus begat a 25-year-plus career in broadcast media, including national and regional stints at CBC Radio, the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN), and NCI-FM. A former Artistic/Managing Director of the Winnipeg Aboriginal Film Festival, he’s co-founder and president of the INDIGENA Creative Group (MI’s parent company).
