What a success!
It is with much pride that the Cree Trappers’ Association has gathered speakers and participants around the first edition of Maamuu Uhpikaapuutaau Summit 2023 to fulfill its mission of advocating, protecting and promoting Eeyou Pimaatisiiun.
In Mistissini, on August 15 and 16, 2023, and in Chisasibi, on September 13 and 14, 2023, more than 500 participants came together to share ideas and talk about sustainable harvesting, access to the land, species preservation and Cree Way of Life.

I enjoyed presentations delivered in Eenou language which addressed matters of interest to the thyme of the conference. The delivery on the plight of Cree hunters, trappers and land users and their concerns were of great interest especially the erosion of the Cree language, landscape, traditions, and culture of the Cree people.
It gave the message of change in Cree people. -

It was a great learning experience for me to attend both the inland and coastal.
I learned from others what they face, I had a chance to communicate with some Tallymen and land users individually. -
