Cree First Nation
Moose Factory, Ontario, Canada

 
 
 
The Cree in this area were a nomadic tribe of hunters and trappers. They are very hospitable and love to share their culture with others. Traditionally, the island of Moose Factory was a summer meeting place for the Cree, and even today you will see tepees in the yard used for the outdoor cooking of moose, goose, and bannock (bread). The Cree Gospel Chapel, an indigenous church, is located on the island of Moose Factory in Ontario. The Chapel was established in 1962, with a membership of 60 people. Our desire is to encourage the believers of the Chapel and partner with them as they seek to reach the whole island with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
