JAMES BAY BEADED HOOD PROJECT My name is Sheila Wheesk. I am a member of the MRHHA committee. I research historical information, and I have traveled to various organizations to present and promote the James Bay beaded hood project. The tradition of making Cree beaded hoods is a cultural activity with a long, rich history. […]
The MRHHA’s mission is to build a future with our shared past, with a focus on the Moose Cree homeland and the people who call it home or arewelcomed here in the ancient spirit of hospitality. Moose Cree First Nation is our lead co-founding member and primary funder. We are also supported by co-founding members, MoCreebec Eeyoud Council and the Town of Moosonee, as well as individual community members in Moose Factory and Moosonee and friends elsewhere.
Our non‐profit association includes elders, youth, harvesters, community members and hosts, film‐makers, librarians, spiritual leaders, community researchers and educators, university and college professors and students, musicians, artists and many others who have a passion for our combined heritage along with the support of our leadership, councils and jurisdictions.
