We share an interest in the rich historical and cultural heritage of Moose Factory, Moosonee and the Moose River region. That historical and cultural heritage is primarily Omushkego, but includes major contributions from other peoples, contributions that have become part of the present‐day community’s political, social, religious, economic and cultural fabric, in the course of its long evolution that predates Moose Factory’s establishment as a fur‐trade post in 1673. As demonstrated by our communities’ additional Eeyou, Orcadian, Scottish, English, Norwegian and French heritage, hospitality has long been one of the most important aspects of Moose Cree and Omushkego culture.
The MRHHA’s mission is to build a future with our shared past, with a focus on the Moose Cree homeland and the people who call it home or arewelcomed here in the ancient spirit of hospitality. Moose Cree First Nation is our lead co-founding member and primary funder. We are also supported by co-founding members, MoCreebec Eeyoud Council and the Town of Moosonee, as well as individual community members in Moose Factory and Moosonee and friends elsewhere.
Our non‐profit association includes elders, youth, harvesters, community members and hosts, film‐makers, librarians, spiritual leaders, community researchers and educators, university and college professors and students, musicians, artists and many others who have a passion for our combined heritage along with the support of our leadership, councils and jurisdictions.
