An immersion into the culture of the Eeyou people

Discover the soul of the Eeyou people, a nation that weaves the history of its vast territory spanning 350,000 km² with the threads of hunting, fishing, and fur trading for millennia. Even today, these ancestral practices deeply rooted in the daily lives of families are the vibrant heart of life.

Travel through the centuries

By immersing yourself in the language and traditions of the Eeyou people, you will not only discover a rich and profound culture - you will experience a surreal journey through time resonating with the timeless wisdom and beauty of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James. Whether by sharing the daily life of a traditional family camp or exploring the treasures of a modern museum, every moment spent here is a doorway to a vibrant and millennia-old universe.

Pow-wow: A celebration of life and culture

Although pow-wow are not native to Eeyou tradition, their integration into the annual cultural calendar of communities is a testament to the adaptability, hospitality, and zest for life of the Eeyou people. These celebrations, now deeply rooted in local culture, offer a colorful and dynamic window into community spirit, uniting voices, dances, and traditions in a burst of joy and sharing.
