ACCI staff are carrying out a project to survey cultural heritage collections in the communities of Eeyou/Eenou Istchee, offering preservation tips along the way and gathering interest for a future preservation workshop.
Today our Archivist and Conservator landed in Whapmagoostui, the northernmost James Bay Cree community.

Lisa and Claire (Conservator) look forward do meeting Rev. Tom Martin tomorrow, as well as other important members of the community, to discuss local Cree artefacts, archives and built heritage, and how they can be preserved for the future.
Stay tuned for more posts from our travelers as they make stops in each community!
