The Cree Nation of Mistissini
Today’s journal is about three things that I think about the Cree Nation of Mistissini. First thing I think about mistissini is they have a wide variety of surroundings and weather conditions. In the summer it gets very warm, during the spring and fall they have an abundant rain fall, and during the winter it is cold and dry, with a lot of snow. Their also surrounded by forest and lakes, with a variety of trees and plants. This would be a good place to live if you like to experience the things nature has to offer. I think how it’s interesting that they’re been there since the early 1800’s, and it used to be just a summer encampment, because of the establishment of the Hudson Bay company fur trading post. They were also different traders in the vicinity. I also found out that they got an agreement with the governor or Quebec, which increased the relationship between the government of Quebec, and the Crees of Quebec. After they signed the agreement they were able to do whatever they wanted with the land, and they developed it into their respected community, and over the years they’re become what it is today, I think there’s a lot of things that people don’t know that happened like small things like this, even in Quebec where we live.
