The Missanabie Cree First Nation (“the First Nation”)
is a distinct group of the Mushkegowuk Cree whose traditional
territory is centred in and around Missinaibi Lake, Dog Lake,
and Wabatongushi Lake. The Missanabie Cree have used and
occupied the lands and rich resources in this area since time
immemorial to the present to hunt, fish and trap for food and
ceremonial purposes and to provide for the cultural, spiritual
and economic well-being of their people.. |

Happy Thanksgiving
On Thanksgiving Day, we celebrate and give thanks for the blessings of family and community. In indigenous cultures, giving thanks to the Creator was practiced as a part of daily life and spiritual practices.
In times of long ago, our people were thankful for good hunting, and plentiful harvests because it meant security for their families. Nowadays, food security is dependent on the economic security of the nation and the community and those who live in poverty struggle daily to feed their families.
World Food Day is observed every year on October 16 in more than 150 countries, raising awareness of the issues behind poverty and hunger. In Canada, a campaign to “Make poverty history” has been endorsed by more than 800 organizations, including the Assembly of First Nations.
Families and communities are becoming more aware of the need for food security. This year MCFN started a community garden, and the harvest has been abundant. It has been a learning experience for our staff, and the experience we have gained in our first attempt at gardening will help with next year’s planting.
