Our team has started to prepare for another busy season of field work and youth programming by brushing up on our safety skills!

The deadline to apply for a fully funded canoe trip for Moose Cree Youth has been extended to February 29! Learn more and apply today!

Kicimanowanowuk “We Canoe Together” is a once-in-a-lifetime, fully funded canoe trip and learning program intended for Moose Cree youth to strengthen connections with the Moose Cree Homeland and culture, while learning valuable skills and practices of environmental conservation. Learn more and apply today!

Check our page in early January if you are a youth interested in taking part of a youth canoe trip in the Moose Cree Homeland this upcoming summer!

With winter holidays coming up, we thought that it would be fun to introduce some members of our team, and share some of the things that we like to do for fun in the winter!

Tagged namew give us an under-the-ice window into their life. And one of the really interesting things that we have learned is that namew are active all year round, even under the thick layers of ice and snow.

Hear from Moose Cree Youth Ocean Skye Phillips and her experiences since 2019 with the Learning from Lake Sturgeon youth program!

We are very excited to announce a new project that we’ve been working on — we created a booklet about the Learning from Lake Sturgeon program, and it shares all of the results of what we have learned so far!

We had a great time at GOOP, and our hearts and minds are full after meeting so many people who share our love of namew, and our passion for the rivers of the Moose Cree Homeland.

We will be at the Moose Cree Gathering of our People from August 1-5! Come and check out our booth and learn more about our program, and pick up some swag.

5 youth, 4 days, 3 boats, 2 many horseflies, 1 sturgeon!

Hear from Warren Iserhoff (our Environmental Youth Coordinator this spring) as he describes his experience in the field working on the Mattagami and North French Rivers!

With spring weather comes the start of the field season! We start our on-the-river work on the North French River — read on to see what we’re up to, and what’s to come!

We are very excited to show off a new look for the Learning from Lake Sturgeon program, with a new logo!

Normally we learn from namew in the rivers of the Moose Cree Homeland. This February, some of the Learning from Lake Sturgeon team shared and learned in a very different environment — a scientific conference!

Instead of going out on the river, Team Namew along with 6 Moose Cree youth travelled south to visit 2 universities as part of a youth science learning trip.

Usually we look at lake sturgeon, the biggest animals in the river. But what can we learn from also looking at the smallest animals in the river?

We’re looking for interested youth to come on a science learning trip to southern Ontario in late August, with all expenses covered, and honoraria provided!

Our team had a great time in the field this spring — catching lake sturgeon, downloading receivers, and connecting with youth!

It’s a lot of work to get ready for field season, but we are almost ready to go!
