Cree Gathering & Unity Run

A Cree Gathering & Unity run was held yesterday evening at the Arbor Site after a few years break between events, with runners arriving in The Pas and OCN from throughout Manitoba the runners were welcomed with a grand entry followed by prayers by elders. The event was founded in 1996 during the time of Chief Francis Flett as a method to mentor and empower youth, connecting them to their culture and history. "The Cree Unity Run involves youth, they take to the road, sometimes they fall down, the little ones will cry, and we'll help them up, and they continue. It's just the way it is, if you fall down, you got to keep going, this is what our elders tell us; never, never give up."

Cree people from around Northern Manitoba were invited to join the run, which was followed today by a Cree Gathering to spread the word on Traditional History, with drum groups.6 Runners from OCN took place in the run.
