Traditional Knowledge

Cree survival depends on being active, eating healthy, and being taught Eenou Pimaatisiiwi.

In the past, Eenou Pimaatisiiwin was taught by adults setting an example of being active – trapping trips, setting up camp and preparing meals together; and eating healthy – roasting, boiling and smoking meats and fish, sharing food so others could eat and be healthy, and eating traditional foods.

Today, Eenou Pimaatisiiwin still depends on adults teaching and setting an example of healthy living – daily walks, hunting trips, skating as a family, cleaning the house or camp together, sharing chores in preparing meals, eating together as a family.
