Community Network

 

For several years, Anischaaukamikw Cultural Institute and the Cree Regional Authority have been working intensively with the local cultural coordinators. The local cultural coordinator organizes cultural programs in his/her community. Meetings with the cultural coordinators help ensure that the interests of the communities are fully considered in the development and planning of regional programs.

 

With the Cree way of life under siege from so many directions, many people wonder how to be Cree in this rapidly changing world. Local cultural coordinators have responded with projects that promote the the celebration and transmission of Cree knowledge and skills. The role of the regional cultural organizations is, where possible, to provide support – training, financial and professional – for these projects; as well as to promote the sharing of ideas, information and resources.
