Belinda Nelson

Producer

Belinda Nelson is a proud member of the Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation. She is a single mother who embarked on a journey of self-discovery and education in 1999 when she moved to Saskatoon. Her pursuit of knowledge led her to the First Nations University of Canada, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Indigenous Studies.

In 2003, she returned to her community, serving in various roles and making significant contributions. Her proudest achievement is the establishment of CKRE 104.9 FM, a community radio station that serves as a voice for her people.
Beyond her professional accomplishments, Belinda is a devoted mother to four wonderful children and a kokum to eight beautiful grandchildren. These family ties are a source of joy and inspiration in her life.

Feeling the need for a career change and a renewed sense of purpose, Belinda returned to university in 2023. She completed the INCA certificate and is currently pursuing the INCA Diploma.

Belinda’s ultimate goal is not just personal growth, but also uplifting her community. She is committed to learning her native Cree language and playing a pivotal role in revitalizing language and art within her community. This journey, she believes, will not only enrich her life but also ensure the preservation and celebration of her rich cultural heritage.
