That first $5 typewriter Nicole Robertson got when she was a little girl helped put her on the path to becoming a network television journalist. But she went far beyond those early reporting days to become a leading communications pro focusing on national and regional Indigenous organizations.

Nicole, a Cree member of Mathias Colomb First Nation, has dedicated her life to creating awareness about Indigenous peoples through the media. Robertson is a national speaker and has been invited on many occasions to present master classes on communications, as well in lending her voice as a master of ceremonies or keynote speaker for many national conferences. Her journalism career has taken across North America and into the United Kingdom; writing, directing, producing, and reporting on issues that encompass Indigenous communities.

In 2001, Nicole created and founded Muskwa Productions & Consulting, which specializes in communication advisory services that include media and public relations, media training, social media, event and video production. Muskwa Productions is assisting Indigenous peoples in their communication strategies and needs to create accurate representations of their news and events in educating and informing mainstream media, Canadians and the world in sharing their stories.

Nicole Robertson’s story was published in a book on Phenomenal Female Entrepreneurs by Second Story Press. The Cree Entrepreneur is serving as a Board Director for Travel Alberta which is under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism through the Province of Alberta. Ms. Robertson recently completed her term as a member of the First Nations Women’s Council on Economic Security through the Province of Alberta.
