Protecting Our Land for Future Generations

We are uniting 
to create a new Indigenous Protected Area in our shared ancestral homelands

Our vision is to protect Kitaskeenan Kanatenihtakwuk — our sacred land — by following the ways of our ancestors to conserve, preserve, and honour all of Askiy that the Creator provided.

We, the Nayhenaway Ininisewinuk, are Cree people who are descended from the original inhabitants of Northeastern Manitoba. We are reuniting through this project to celebrate our shared ancestry while strengthening the protection of our homelands.
