Nemaskau Eenouch, means the People from the Place of Plentiful Fish. Nemaska has always been a gathering and meeting place. A place where people are welcomed, relationships built, trade and commerce grown, and children cared for. Much has changed over the years and many challenges have been overcome many challenges but this spirit in the land and this place is still alive and well.

Luke Mettweskum School is a place where we nurture our beautiful children. We practice our living cultures and foster pride in the culture and traditions of the James Bay Cree. We pull together as the ancestors of this land did. We work well together for our generation and those yet to come.

As a former elementary and middle school teacher, I value the social and emotional development of each child as they transition from their primary years through early adolescence. I value life-long learning and aim to make your child’s learning experience at Bill Reed Middle School engaging and exciting.

As the principal of Luke Mettaweskum School, I believe that it is my responsibility to maintain and to continue to build a supportive and collaborative spirit at our school. Together as a school community, we will build on the traditions of the past and meet the challenges of the future in innovative and exciting ways.
