As a member of Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte and with family from Wikwemikong First Nation on Manitoulin Island, Cherie brings a profound understanding of the opportunities and challenges that both Indigenous people and Industry proponents face in carrying out resource, infrastructure and economic development in Canada.

As lead counsel to the First Nations Energy Alliance (a consortium of 20 First Nations) on the Integrated Power System Plan review before the Ontario Energy Board, her counsel was instrumental in promoting Aboriginal participation models for renewable energy procurement.
