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.

In Brief

Novel about Crees awarded the Giller Prize

Though Boyden, who is a member of the Woodlands Métis, was raised in Willowdale, Toronto, his novels have chronicled the lives of Northern Ontario Crees from the Moosonee area. His first novel, Three Day Road, is the story of two Cree soldiers serving in the Canadian military during World War I. The follow-up, Through Black Spruce, is the story of Will, a son of one of the characters in Three Day Road. A third novel is on the way in this exciting new Canadian series.
Upon receiving his award, Boyden said, “I'm worried that my friends up in Moosonee and Moose Factory aren’t watching, but I hope they are because I want to tell them, this is for you guys, too!”
Both Through Black Spruce and Three Day Road are available in bookstores.
