Robin Sutherland, a Mushkegowuk Innino raised in the Moose Cree First Nation (MCFN) and a proud member of the Fort Albany First Nation (FAFN), obtained his B.A./B.Ed.

After moving back to Thunder Bay in 2016, he returned to Lakehead in the capacity of Aboriginal Transitions Advisor, assisting the Lakehead University Indigenous community with recruitment, retention, program development, and outreach. Together, these experiences have helped Robin in his new role as the Director of Indigenous Relations for the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law.
