    NICOLE ROBERTSON BIOGRAPHY

    Nicole Robertson is a renowned media specialist and Indigenous communicator who has dedicated over thirty years to raising awareness about Indigenous Peoples through journalism, film, and media training. Her career has taken her across Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, where she has written, produced, and directed media content that promotes Indigenous brilliance and strengthens cultural understanding.

    Nicole Robertson is a proud member of the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation in Treaty No. 6 and grounds her work in Indigenous worldviews and natural laws. Her professional journey has been guided by the values of truth, justice, courage, and benevolence, which continue to inform her collaborations with First Nations leadership, communities, governments, and private-sector partners on communication strategies and media platforms.

    With a foundation in journalism, Nicole Robertson gained national recognition as a video journalist and producer for networks such as Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN), Global Television, and CTV. She developed a reputation for her expertise in cultural protocols and ethical standards when engaging with First Nations communities, using media to build bridges between Indigenous and non-Indigenous audiences.

    Nicole Robertson has supported a range of communications initiatives for organizations including the Confederacy of Treaty Six First Nations, Treaty 7 Management Corporation, and the Treaty 8 First Nations of Alberta. She has worked closely with National Chiefs and senior leadership to develop provincial and national communication strategies that elevate Indigenous voices and perspectives. Her media consulting work has extended to partnerships with the Assembly of First Nations, Alberta Cancer Board, United Way, and the First Nations Technical Services Advisory Group.

    As a media trainer and educator, Nicole Robertson has provided presentation and communications training with various First Nations including, Cold Lake First Nation, Samson Cree Nation and Alexander First Nation. Her guidance on how to effectively navigate electronic media and respond to challenging interviews has empowered Indigenous leaders to convey their messages with clarity and confidence.

    Nicole Robertson has hosted national broadcast programming such as Imagine Native and served as a producer and reporter for The Sharing Circle, one of Canada’s leading Indigenous current affairs programs. She has also held roles as a production associate with the National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation and publicist for the Banff Centre for the Arts’ Aboriginal Arts Program, supporting the promotion of Indigenous performance and storytelling.

    In addition to her media production and journalism work, Nicole Robertson has played an important role in strengthening Indigenous narratives in public discourse. She has worked as a Producer and Advisor with the Indigenous Screen Summit through the Banff World Media Festival and the Indigenous Screen Office. Her storytelling initiatives focus on narrative sovereignty and improving cultural understanding in mainstream screen industries.

    Nicole Robertson’s professional achievements have been recognized in the book Phenomenal Female Entrepreneurs by Second Story Press, where she was profiled for her leadership and innovation. In 2009, she received the Aboriginal Woman Entrepreneur Award of Distinction from the Alberta Chamber of Commerce. Her historic appointment as the first Indigenous woman to the Board of Directors at Travel Alberta reflects her influence and dedication to Indigenous representation at the provincial level.

    In 2023, Nicole Robertson was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee Medal for her service and contributions to Indigenous advancement through communications. In 2024, she was honored with the Indigenous Business Award by the Calgary Chamber of Commerce for her commitment to uplifting Indigenous communities and promoting their voices. She is currently developing a new podcast and book that will further extend her impact and storytelling legacy.

    Nicole produced the fourth season of the “Matriarch Movement” Podcast and the second season of “We Are Here” Podcast. She has worked closely with Mount Royal University through their Journalism program as a guest lecturer in 2022 and was interviewed by their Broadcasting program in 2024 to provide insight on cultural protocols when reporting and storytelling during the age of disinformation.

    Nicole Robertson continues to serve as a vital voice in media, working to ensure that Indigenous Peoples are accurately represented and respectfully engaged. Her work remains focused on truth-telling, cultural integrity, and relationship-building through storytelling and communications.
