The Cree Nation is the largest Aboriginal Nation in Canada. It is the largest linguistic group and with an estimated 300,000 Crees in Canada, one out of every five Aboriginal persons in Canada is of Cree descent.

 

The Gathering is an opportunity for the host community to showcase the heritage and history that is unique to their people and territory. It is also a gathering to strengthen the historical, cultural, spiritual and political ties of the national Cree Nation.

It is an opportunity to promote and preserve our unique traditional ceremonial practices, language and ways of our people that was eroded and slowly phased out over the years.

 

 

We ask for all to understand and help maintain our traditional knowledge, language and practices of our ancestors for the benefit of our children, grandchildren and future generations yet unborn. It is important and incumbent upon us today to ensure that they be provided with an opportunity to connect with who they are, where they come from and to be proud of who they are as Cree people. This is the cornerstone of how we may be able to heal and to regain our strength and unity as a proud and strong people, and to stand again as a strong Cree Nation.
