Since its incorporation in 2004, Niskamoon Corporation has always strived to develop innovative ways to bring our many programs to Cree beneficiaries. Our goal is to promote traditional Cree customs and practices, while at the same time fostering the development of the Cree Nation for the benefit of future generations.  

Thanks to the hard work of our employees and the collaboration of our many partners, we have successfully implemented many different programs, ranging from the training of Crees for skilled jobs with Hydro-Quebec (over 50 Crees now occupy permanent positions), the rejuvenation of Cree community and family fisheries, the support of numerous cultural activities including summer gatherings and the enhancement of goose hunting facilities.  This is not to mention the hundreds of kilometres of snowmobile and ATV trails already built throughout Eeyou Istchee.  

On its 20th anniversary, Niskamoon Corporation salutes The Nation magazine and wishes it many more years of success and positive change.

Under the Northern Sky

Everything will work out in the end

I have been watching some good movies lately. One titled “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” was about a group of older English retirees who move to Jaipur, a city in India, to live in a hotel converted into a senior citizen's home.

 

Editorial

Flooded with rare praise

This space is often devoted to commenting on social problems and criticizing the weak responses to them by different levels of government, businesses and other organizations. This editorial is a departure from that habit.

While some Cree communities may still be experiencing the occasional snow shower or are watching the first signs of spring as the geese return north to be plucked by some anxiously awaiting Crees, down south the heat has already begun.

Looking back in order to move forward

Romeo Saganash discusses residential school’s impact on his life and family

NDP MP Romeo Saganash’s personal struggles and emotions have been very public in recent months. After being removed from a flight in October for drunkenness, he immediately came clean about his alcoholism and the emotions that underpinned it – the stress of working Parliament Hill and participating in the NDP leadership race, the loss of his good friend Jack Layton, and the unhealed scars from his youth in residential schools.

Decoding native style

A unique Montreal exhibit threads the relationship of clothing to Aboriginal identity

Montreal’s historic McCord Museum, which has long been devoted to the preservation of Native Peoples’ history, opened a new permanent collection May 2 that explores the relationship between Native dress and identity.

Changing with the climate

Goose Break evolves as hunters face new challenges

The 2013 Goose Break got off to a good start without the early thaw that has hampered recent years.  Eeyou Istchee communities have become ghost towns as most folks have left for their traditional shooting grounds. Many are contemplating extending the break to take advantage of a strong geese migration.

End-of-life conversations

American writer Will Schwalbe discusses final days with his dying mother

Death is a difficult part of life, one that we all have to go deal with. For family and friends taking care of their loved ones who are facing their last few moments of life, waking up alive every morning becomes a precious gift. In the end, it is how we as a society take care of our Elders to ensure that their legacy will be passed on to the next generation.
