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.
