“Our “Nishnawbeg” – First Nations People are so rich in our oral stories and history with other Interdimensional Spiritual Beings such as the Little People, Wendigo, Fairies, Mermaid/men, Wesakechak, Chakabesh, and Bigfoot, just to name a few. [These beings and stories] provide teachings to be good to ourselves and others[.] [W]alk in a good path [with]spiritual connections to our culture, – the time is now to share.†says Sackaney.
Our mission is to foster connection, opportunity, and knowledge-sharing for those who create (Oshichikesiwuk). In doing so, we empower the voices of Mushkegowuk Cree to express the sacred connection between our people, water, land, and all our relations.
We envision a future where the voices of Omushkegowuk creators (Oshichikesiwuk) are empowered and valued, ensuring a legacy of harmony between culture and sustainability that resonates through generations connected to the James Bay Coast (Nanipek).
