Message from the President

Cree Women
of Eeyou Istchee Association

Kwey! It is an exciting time for the Cree Women of Eeyou Istchee Association (CWEIA)! We are planning for the future of the state and well-being of our girls and women, families, communities and Eeyou-Eenou nation. We believe that the message by our ancestors was clearly stated and provided direction for CWEIA to lead towards healing in Eeyou Istchee.

Meanwhile, we are creating an organizational “road map” for the next several years through an extensive strategic planning effort that will sustain our program development and strengthen the need for healthy and balanced families and communities based on strong cultural Eeyou/Eenou values and traditions.
