My Dad use to have casette of that guy singning it brings childhood memories ...i'm not Cree myself but i was going to school with some Cree children and even learn how to count in Cree at school. Thank you for sharing the video.😊
Reminds me of the recent Land of Lakes butter packaging issue. The old logo was of an Indian maiden. They removed the Indian from the logo but kept the land
thanks for sharing this. I grew up in Chibougamau in the seventies. we used to live at Campbell Point at the Campbell mines site on Lake Doree. I used to see the cree live off the land. I really feel for the ones affected .Its a shame to see the land disrespected. I went to school with some of them, Mathew Cooncome was one of them. it brings back a lot of memories , I used to fish as a kid out on some of the lakes. the last time I was there was in 1980.
I really feel bad for these men and the cree people that are screwed over by big business with no concern for how drastically it affects them and future generations.
Oney Buttwillies truth they destroyed there entire lively hood which is why I'm ashamed to be a white man raised in a crooked world of illusion and disillusion!
40 below 0 which is the same whether Celsius or Fahrenheit is extremely cold to be working in. I work in a freezer warehouse which is -24 Celsius and no wind at all and it can be painfully cold if you don’t stay moving and working hard constantly!
I enjoyed my canoe ride into the Arctic Ocean with My Cree guilds and the friendship..........Can't wait to get back........Bon jour mon ami----Douglas King
I enjoyed the video and understood some of the cree words, good to see the brotherhood, sad to see the destruction of land and the cree people feel the sadness to see our lands and way of life that is disappearing, pretty soon we will not be able to eat fish or other animals, this is our sad future...
I think the language that most of these people were speaking was basically an offshoot of French. Much the same situation as in Louisiana. I think many of these people are what I call "Metis".
Oh it’s so so sad to have their way of life altered because of greed. I’m sorry, I have native roots in moose factory, and feel for everything that is taken away for profit.
We fought forest fires and the govt. hired Cree. All useless tools. The Alberta first nations were also there. What a great bunch of workers and great folks that know the land. I don't know what has happened to the Cree but man...
Beaver defication will seem like an awful small issue once corporate greed is finished deficating on the land the very people who should have complete control over it and every living thing that god has put on it these people are evil and I know that they will be held accountable for their sins when their time is up
Wonderful production. Hydroelectric power has negative and positive effects on the land, people and animals. The Cree, like most Indian nations as well as other peoples, are predisposed to alcohol consumption.
Are you still alive Roger? If yeah you should try to come to check out the " Eeyou estchee" When you were there Try to visit again when you were taking videos
The English Hudson Bay company dealt with them first, and so they used to be primarily Anglican, and still wear somewhat Victorian wedding attire during ceremonies. They're mostly pentacostal now. The neighboring Attikamekw (formerly tete de boule), also speak an Algonquin family language but traded fur with the French first and speak French. So it's historical.
It wasn't the Cree that needed the electricity... The hydro dams built in the Northwestern part of Quebec were part of the Canadian Governments plan to establish a long term power infrastructure, in order to supply the Southern and eastern, more populated parts of the province of Quebec, with power.
Lars Grimstad and provide électricity for the production of aluminium enormous plants that allows Alcan to be come the greatest productor in the world destroying and polluting this land and the Life of his people.
@Lars Grimstad Canada sells most of the electricity produced in the Cree territory to the USA. It powers most of the North East, from Maine to New York, and maybe more. It is a shame that this power is used to produce heat, increasing global warming in the polar region. I visited Waskaganish in Feb 2017, and it was warmer than in Connecticut! The Crees joked, asking if I had brought the heat with me to keep myself warm.

It's a sin all for nothing but straight greed god sees
The native people have been getting shafted by invading people for centuries. I feel sorry for all the native bands on the north American continent.
Fascinating documentary, fascinating people. More power to the Cree!
it might be interesting to see a follow up in 2020
what a gem! and what fine people. very glad to see this
Hello to my Cree brothers all the way from Fort Severn Cree nation in Ontario’s most northerly settlement.

Only one friend? "bon jour mon ami" Try bon jour mes amis.
A majority didn't vote for the destruction of a way of life. A very wealthy minority decided the Cree needed flush toilets.

It's just wrong

Super documentaire , merci Roger!

I love Native culture..

I wonder if Harry Jolly is related to Ronnie Jolly from a NFB prod. Filmed in 1974?😎
All that snow, ice, glacier, and tundra
Today, there are likely 3 casinos, 14 pot shops (from the Creator of course) and 25 "cheap smokes" shops.
Not up there. There's the reservations, Hydro installations and Chibougamau. The rest is pretty pure subarctic. Been there.

That music sounds like it could have been recorded at Erath, Louisiana.

@@charlesaanonson3954 it is good music, I wonder what Metis means
Métis are people lol . English and Cree mix blood
That’s my joomshum (grandpa) singing
The Cree people DIDN'T AGREE WITH IT. Your lieing being deceptive and the jobs that they were given was the hardest
The Cree did agree with
as they signed it off!
Were they qualified for "easier" jobs though?
Oh it’s so so sad to have their way of life altered because of greed. I’m sorry, I have native roots in moose factory, and feel for everything that is taken away for profit.
Well done Roger Murray!!
We fought forest fires and the govt. hired Cree. All useless tools. The Alberta first nations were also there. What a great bunch of workers and great folks that know the land. I don't know what has happened to the Cree but man...
There are Cree in Alberta too...
great video
I see you
in the blink of an eye, Our history may came from a struggling battle but Our story does not end there....
Beautiful!
They did this before.
Lol the dude with the saw
I love the song at 50:23
Moving metal thru an electrical field creates electrical current. AN aluminum boat becomes a battery

Why diod the Cree used to refuse to speak French?
The English Hudson Bay company dealt with them first, and so they used to be primarily Anglican, and still wear somewhat Victorian wedding attire during ceremonies. They're mostly pentacostal now. The neighboring Attikamekw (formerly tete de boule), also speak an Algonquin family language but traded fur with the French first and speak French. So it's historical.
why do they need all that electricity in that barren place?
It wasn't the Cree that needed the electricity... The hydro dams built in the Northwestern part of Quebec were part of the Canadian Governments plan to establish a long term power infrastructure, in order to supply the Southern and eastern, more populated parts of the province of Quebec, with power.
