I am Amber King-Robitaille, known by my Anishinaabe name, Pichi Kwe (Robin Woman). I belong to the eagle clan and am the middle daughter of Ron and Carla King from Cedar Point, an extension of Chimnissing, also known as Beausoleil First Nation.

My roots are deeply embedded in the traditional territory of my people, and I currently live in Penetanguishene with my husband and two daughters. In my role as the Indigenous Health and Wellbeing Coordinator at Chigamik Community Health Centre, I bring a wealth of skills and a deep commitment to supporting the Indigenous community in Simcoe County.

Over the past 20 years, I have worked in various capacities advocating for the Anishinabek people across Ontario. My experiences reflect a strong dedication to building supportive structures for Indigenous populations throughout Turtle Island. I’ve worked in my home community of Chimnissing within the Lands and Resource department, supported transportation and nuclear initiatives under the political secretariat of the Anishinabek Nation, and served as an early infant mental health and development advocate at the Georgian Bay Native Women’s Association.

Driven by a commitment to empower Indigenous families, I pursued a diploma in Social Service Work through the First Nations Technical Institute in partnership with Canadore College, graduating with academic honours. I am eager to leverage my education to effect meaningful change.

I remain passionate about fostering strong Indigenous voices and advocating for best practices in working with Indigenous families. I look forward to continuing my work within the Indigenous community and contributing to our region’s growth.

Chi Miigwetch,
Amber King-Robitaille
