Significant Agreement between Quebec and Cree Nation - "A tangible example of
partnership of the Paix-des-Braves between Quebec and Cree nation to improve
the lives of people of Eeyou Istchee" -Grand Chief Dr. Matthew Coon-Come of
the Grand Council of the Crees
CHISASIBI, QC,
Cree Board of Health and Social Services of James Bay's chairman
Chisasibi Chief Roderick Pachano reminded his guests that before Europeans came to Eeyou Istchee, the land of the Crees, people kept healthy through a nomadic life style and that new health challenges are of common responsibility to be shared.
Through this health agreement, Crees will be assuming greater responsibility in administration and service delivery, related to increased professional training and development.
