Building Community Spirit

This momentous event will allow us to demonstrate our iiyiyiu and iinuu knowledge, skills, and identity through a variety of events, games, and competitions.

Each school and adult center will be sending delegations made up of students and employees to represent them, accompanied by Elders and knowledge keepers.

The events, games, and competitions will focus on iiyiyiu/iinuu ayimuwin (language) and iiyiyiu/iinuu iyihtiwin (traditions and practices).

Celebrating

Cree Knowledge

These games represent more than just a cultural event; they are a vital link in the chain of Cree knowledge transmission.

By bringing the communities together, the iiyiyiu maatiwaawin | iinuu metawewinh Games strengthen intergenerational bonds and provide a unique opportunity for Elders to share their wisdom with younger generations. Through their participation, youth learn about their culture in an interactive and engaging manner.

Cree Skills

From physical endurance to strength, observation, and collaboration, the activities are designed to embody and reinforce important Cree values and skills.

By celebrating and practicing these games, participants from our communities ensure that our rich culture continues to thrive and inspire future generations, nurturing a sense of pride, belonging, empowerment and connection.

Cree Identity

The games promote our shared identity through collaboration, stewardship, gratitude, and generosity.

Communities are invited to play a big role in the preparation before and during the games, with many opportunities to connect, get involved and support our youth in these unforgettable times.
