Description

I sat down with Nicole Robertson, a journalist and founder of Muskwa Productions, to talk about where her voice comes from and how she’s used it to tell hard stories for nearly 30 years.

With Cree and Scottish roots, she spoke about growing up between cultures and the early experiences that shaped her sense of identity. We talked about the loss of her childhood friend Neil Stonechild, her early reporting on residential school survivors, and why she built a media company to ensure Indigenous stories are told by the people living them. She also shared how grounding practices, time in nature, and ceremony help her stay connected to the work.

The episode explores journalism, identity, responsibility, and the long path to telling stories that matter.
