David Robertson: My name is David A. Robertson, and I think what's important about my name is that the A stands for Alexander. My dad's name was Donald Alexander Robertson. And he was named after a mentor that he had in Norway House Cree Nation, which is my home community and my dad's home community. His name was Donald Alexander McIver. Or Doulas Alexander McIver. So my dad was named after this really great man, Donald Doulas Alexander McIver. My understanding is that my middle name comes from that mentor that my dad had, which I think is really appropriate because my dad was a really great mentor to me. And David, I think, was just a name that my parents liked, so I got stuck with it. But Alexander is definitely a very significant name. And my son Cole is also, middle name is Alexander as well.
