About Us
Tansi (Welcome)!
The purposes of the Centre are to have a First Nations' living memorial to the survivors of the Indian Residential Schools, and to show the proud heritage and culture of our people as one of the first peoples of this Land. Even more, we will show the resilience the Cree and other native peoples of this territory and beyond. We as Cree have endured many difficulties, hardships and setbacks before the Indian Residential Schools, through that era and after into our future always being strong with an unshakeable resilience. We will do our best to capture the spirit of our peoples through the Centre’s displays, exhibits of art, historical information and first hand video testimonies of Indian Residential School survivors and some that were placed in sanitariums.
We hope that you have enjoyed our website and you will be able to visit the Cree Nations Heritage Centre in the near future.
