 NCN's distinctive culture includes the Cree language of our people, our dances and dress. It also includes Ethinesewin, which is the traditional knowledge and collective wisdom of
Nisichawayasihk Nehethowuk.
NCN promotes culturally appropriate practices in its approach to education, health care, healing and social services and economic development.
For example, traditional knowledge was used with western scientific knowledge in the development of the Wuskwatim Project Development Agreement (PDA). In addition to the impact our culture has had on the environmental protection of our lands and design of the dam, it also means all workers on the Wuskwatim Project will take part in a cultural-diversity awareness program.
