Wachaye,

Fall is here finally. The leaves are about four weeks behind but their colours are finally coming out. Fall is the time that our ancestors would begin preparation for the long winter season.

Greetings MCFN Members and Families:

Everyone is back to school, back at work, and, hopefully, back to normal!  I hope you all enjoyed your summer holidays and our Gathering this past August.

Over the eight years that I have been the Chief of Missanabie Cree First Nation, I have had the opportunity to represent our community in many different forums. Those forums ranged from local events to provincial events to national and international events.

Greetings MCFN Family & Friends 

 Only a month and a half to the Gathering!  Time really does fly.  I am looking forward to visiting with family, greeting old friends and making new ones. 

Greetings MCFN:

 I would like to begin by saying CONGRATULATIONS to all you graduates out there. Your hard work and dedication has finally paid off.  This is truly a time for celebration to acknowledge the academic achievements of our people.

Whachay,

One would wonder if spring is here! This past weekend we experienced temperatures more in line with March weather.

Wachay, Greetings,

Spring is here but you would not know it! The snow cover on the ground is deep, ice on the lakes is thick and the days continue to be cool.
