Ncn history

The Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation signed an adhesion to that treaty 33 years later on July 30, 1908.

A fur buyer chartered Canada’s first commercial flight into the north between Winnipeg and The Pas in October 1920.

Much closer to Nelson House, about 80 kilometres to the east within NCN’s traditional territories, one of the world’s richest nickel deposits was discovered in 1956 near present-day Thompson – a city created to service the mine.

Finally in 1976, five northern First Nations, including NCN, formed the Northern Flood Committee (NFC) and opposed the hydro-electric projects.

A first attempt to kinetically describe the CH + N2 reaction system on the basis of Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus (RRKM) theory dates back to 1983, when Berman and Lin analyzed their experimental results obtained in a slow-flow reactor.

Parties to the Northern Flood Agreement recognized a solution was needed to the ongoing delays and failure to implement the NFA. Various negotiations took place but eventually around 1990 the “proposed basis for settlement” among the five First Nations fell apart and each went their separate ways.

NCN began negotiations on its own in 1992.

Shortly after the 1996 NFA Implementation Agreement was signed, Manitoba Hydro came to us with a new proposal to develop the Wuskwatim generating station at Taskinigup Falls on the Burntwood River.

The 1997 Treaty Land Entitlement Agreement (TLE) partially fulfilled the land rights provided to NCN in Treaty 5, and it will add 324 square kilometres or about 80,000 acres to our Reserve Lands.

Before Wuskwatim, the Mystery Lake Hotel purchase (1998) was NCN’s largest revenue-generating investment.

The electronic non-adiabaticity of reaction (R1b) was for the first time explicitly addressed in a theoretical work by Cui et al. in 1999.

In 2000, the Nelson House Medicine Lodge opened the Pisimweyapiy Counselling Centre (PCC) to work with NCN Citizens to help heal the devastating inter-generational impacts of the Indian Residential School system.

The program has been running since 2001 to reduce the disruption and trauma to children and improve Mithwayawin (wellness).

On December 22, 2005 nearly 1,000 Citizens separated from NCN to form OPCN. The First Nation’s reserve lands include over 28,000 acres and it has its own government.

The signing ceremony was held June 26, 2006 and was attended by federal and provincial elected representatives and officials lead by Premier Gary Doer, MP Rod Bruinooge, Parliamentary Secretary for the Minister of Indian Affairs and Hydro CEO Bob Brennan.

A few years after the signing of the PDA changing economic circumstances primarily due to the global recession in 2008 and fracking, a new technology in the natural gas sector, threatened NCN’s investment and anticipated benefits from the project.

Since 2010, NCN has supported indigenous-based rites of passage for girls and has supported the development of a national network of culturally-based rites of passage circle keepers.

Over 79,000 acres are outstanding to NCN’s Treaty Land Entitlement and as of March 2011, almost 34,000 acres in 13 parcels have been transferred to NCN reserve status.

Global pressures continue to impact the project, but NCN has received some significant benefits from the project since it went into operation in 2012, which has allowed it to begin addressing significant infrastructure and housing deficits in the community.

In 2014, a group of nationally recognized Chicana, Latina, Indigenous women leaders gathered to establish the Comadres Network.

After a number of years of consultation, 2017 was a year of further achievements.
