Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation is a vibrant and thriving First Nation based in Nelson House, Manitoba, about 800 kilometres north of Winnipeg and 80 kilometres west of Thompson. We’re focused on providing education and opportunities that can help assure a positive tomorrow for our youth, our families and our Elders.

The Nisicawâyasîhk Nîhitho Language, Heritage, and Culture Unit extends our deepest gratitude to our Elders for their dedication to preserving and passing down our language, stories, and traditions. Their wisdom, teachings and translations guided the creation of this book. Through Elder storytelling, ceremonies, and knowledge-sharing, the Elders continue to keep the spirit of our ancestors alive and ensure that our ways continue to thrive long into the future.
