Community Engagement Coordinator

Nigel Robinson

Nigel is a Dene organizer and radio host from Cold Lake First Nations. 

As an Indian Day School survivor Nigel has first hand experience with the challenges of being Indigenous in so called Canada.

While studying writing in Toronto he bore witness to a speech in 2015 that made a lot of what Nigel faced make sense. While contemplating this Nigel started with organizing decolonial teach-ins during Canada 150. Beyond this he has organized feasts, round dances, tattoo gatherings, direct actions, workshops, and art builds. In this work he likes to carry the idea of the old protest chant "Nothing is impossible, another world is possible"
