The gordongroup documentary film team travelled to James Bay to capture the spring goose hunt activities on camera last April. While we were there, I mentioned to our hosts that my husband was an avid hunter and that we lived on a 200-acre farm in Eastern Ontario. The next thing I knew, a Cree contingent was planning to drive 12 hours to hunt in Grenville County.

Rodney stated of his cousin Albert, "Although Albert achieved a great deal of success, those that knew him, knew that his greatest and proudest achievement were his children.

The annual report of the Grand Council of the Crees and the Cree Regional Authority for 2008-2009 is now available for download.
The documentary The Eeyou of Eeyou Istchee will portray the history of the Eeyouch from earliest times to the present in a series of four episodes. The series will speak to the social, political, economic, and spiritual life of the Eeyouch. The central theme will be the relationship to Eeyou Istchee.
The story will be woven together from a multitude of Eeyou voices, not always agreeing with each other, but each telling what he or she knows. The goal is to create an educational resource for future generations that shows where the Eeyouch have come from; what they have experienced, fought for, and accomplished; what lessons they have learned; and what advice they have for the next generations.
