Given the fact that other Iroquoian nations such as the Hurons or the Neutrals, occupied
smaller territories yet had divided into smaller groups, it stands to reason that Iroquoian
Laurentia encompassed several different groups. In the narrative he gave of his second
voyage, Jacques Cartier noted that the inhabitants of Hochelaga differed significantly
from those of Stadacona and the surrounding areas. He added that the Stadaconans
and another eight or nine groups appeared to be under the control of the Hochelagans.
Moreover, archaeological findings suggest that possibly four distinct cultural provinces
lay within the St. Lawrence Valley. One major province was quite likely located in
present day Jefferson County, in New York State, at the eastern end of Lake Ontario, but
it has been little studied until now. At least one other province covered the upper St.
Lawrence Valley, the easternmost limits of which presumably coincided with
present-day Montreal, where the village of Hochelaga was located. A third province is
believed to have occupied the Lac Saint=Pierre region. Finally, a fourth group, to whom
Cartier gave the name of prouvynce de Canada, or province of Canada, corresponded
fairly closely with the Quebec area.
Sent by the King of France, Jacques Cartier landed in the
Gaspe in 1534 and took possession of a territory that
Aboriginal peoples had inhabited for millennia. After the fall
of Quebec City in 1759, New France passed into British
hands. Over the years, descendents of the early French and
English settlers were joined by immigrants from around the
world, and seven million people now live in Quebec, most of
them along the St. Lawrence River. Close to 70,000
members of ten First Nations and 9,000 Inuit live in
approximately 50 villages across Quebec
St.Lawrence Iroquois
The St. Lawrence Iroquois occupied an immense territory.
Extending from the mouth of Lake Ontario to the estuary of
the St. Lawrence River, their country, which in this text is
referred to as Iroquoian Laurentia, measured more than
700km along the entire St. Lawrence Valley, and contained
as estimated population of more than 10,000 during the
16th century.
The need for a regional cultural institute
Having undergone dramatic changes over the
years, the Cree people are now searching for
ways to preserve their culture and linguistic
distinctiveness, and to reclaim the ways of their
ancestors. While "modern" society exerts a
growing influence on Cree communities, the
traditional hunting and trapping ways, and the
social interaction they entail, continue to form an
important part of community life.
Until now, however, there has been only limited
coordination and planning in the nine Cree
communities to preserve and renew their culture.
This lack of coordination has led to duplication
and to resources being spread too thinly to
provide adequate services.
A new home for Aanischaaukamikw
A day's drive north of Montreal, and serviced daily by major air carriers, Aanischaaukamikw
will be a place where the past, the present, and the future merge in a fascinating blend of
living culture and intriguing history.

Poised dramatically on a hill overlooking majestic Lake Opemiska in Northern Quebec,
Aanischaaukamikw will be located in the United Nations award-winning community of
Oujé-Bougoumou.
The Legendary Canoe Factory at Ruperts House

It began making fur-brigade canoes and its builders were
always aboriginal. The factory was owned by the Hudson's
Bay Company (HBC) and operated with full-time Cree
builders, constructing birchbark and wood-canvas canoes
for close to a century, if not more.  It grew to supply canoes
for more than just Company use, but for sale to aboriginals
along the Hudson Bay coast and inland in the James Bay
region of northern Quebec.
