According to the Loon River Cree Community website, “Over the years, the Loon River Cree community has seen a steady growth in Government, Social reforms, Health, Education, Economic Development, Culture and Traditions. They believe that they will ‘secure their future by investing in their past’.”
The stories found in the “Namôhkâc nika-pôni-âcimon” (I will never quit telling stories) book serve to invest in the past, by recording the stories of the Elders for future generations.
The Community’s Mission is to Preserve, Promote and Advance their Culture, including their language, history, and spirituality; and to look after the Health, Economic, Educational and Social well-being of their people.
