Cree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Métis are a group of mixed Cree and primarily French Canadian heritage, although it is generally accepted in academic circles that the term Métis can be used to refer to a combination of any Aboriginal and European lineage. The largest Cree band, and the second largest First Nations Band in Canada after the Six Nations Iroquois is the Lac La Ronge Band in northern Saskatchewan. Their ancestral Cree language was once the most widely spoken in northern North America, but now not all Crees are fluent in it. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cree

Backgrounder - Manitoba Northern Flood Agreement Implementation - Cross Lake First Nation Cross Lake First Nation in northern Manitoba was one of five communities affected in the early 1970's by flooding arising from hydro-electric projects on the Nelson and Churchill Rivers and by the Lake Winnipeg Regulation Project. In 1997, after several years of negotiation, Cross Lake First Nation chose not to pursue a CIA, opting instead for implementation of the NFA directly in accordance with its "spirit and intent". To date, representatives of Cross Lake First Nation have not responded to Canada's proposals, and no further funding arrangements have been reached for NFA implementation. www.ainc-inac.gc.ca /pr/info/baccros_e.html

Pulse of the Twin Cities - Locally Grown Alternative Newspaper The NCN descriptions of environmental destruction and social upheaval reiterated much of the sorrow I had heard earlier from Pimicikamak Cree Nation. For example, one of the women in the NCN delegation has a brother on the questionable council, and an elder, whose husband, as chief of NCN, signed the NFA, related that their daughter is married to the controversial chief Primrose. NCN members say that the majority of the people in their band are opposed to the election of Chief Jerry Primrose. www.pulsetc.com /article.php?sid=506

GhostChild.com > Manitoba Hydro: How To Build A Legacy Of Hatred Nation to Nation only exists when dealing with Soveriegn People, those who are the Traditions who are branded as trouble makers, radicals, and layabouts, and in some cases: Terrorists, when they get in the way of the Corperate Profit Orgy. A modern First Nation is one that works in concert with their family; is not interested in being autonomous corporations (as that's what sovereignty is within an entity such as Canada), and is focused on the needs of the People without compromising what makes us inherently sovereign; which is not something attainable by having money. But NCN Chief Jerry Primrose said Kobliski's claim of having the support of the majority of NCN elders was untrue and he accused her of siding with environmental activists who had given no thought to destroying the fur industry in the 90s-an integral part of traditional aboriginal culture. ghostchild.com /forum/lofiversion/index.php/t973.html

JustEnergy - News - Dam's fate up to band in late-summer vote: Hydro says project dead if referendum fails to pass Support for the partnership, which would allow the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation to own up to a third of the $800-million dam, could be eroding as opponents air their objections at a Manitoba Clean Environment Commission hearing. Thomas vigorously defended the Cree nation's leaders, who recently survived an election court challenge, from accusations over that last few weeks that they are not protecting band members' aboriginal rights. The commitment leaves the Nisichawayasihk Cree's 2,100 eligible voters, including those living off reserve, with the power to make or break a project that Manitoba Hydro argues would help keep rates down for all customers in the province. www.justenergy.org /news/031604bfreepress.html

AMC Chronology We must recognize the impact of these actions on the once self-sustaining nations that were disaggregated, disrupted, limited or even destroyed by the dispossession of traditional territory, by the relocation of Aboriginal people, and by some provisions of the Indian Act. An amendment to the Indian Act stated that First Nations required the consent of the Indian Agent to participate in dances, rodeos and exhibitions and were prohibited from wearing traditional outfits without government consent. However, First Nations peoples were entitled to hunt, fish and trap all year on any "unoccupied Crown lands" and on private land to which they are granted access. www.manitobachiefs.com /culture/chronology.html
