Mocreebec Indian Government

About

The Mocreebec Cree people's association was established in 1980. However, the families of MoCreebec members have been living in the Moose Factory – Moosonee area for generations and hundreds of years. Members of MoCreebec trace their ancestry to the people along the East Coast of what is now known as James Bay, in the province of what is now Quebec. Employment, education, and health care were all major factors for the migration from ancestral territories. 

However, in 1905, MoCreebec families were not signatories to Treaty no. 9 in Ontario. The Federal Government chose not to include the people whose ancestry was in the province of Quebec. Therefore, as beneficiaries without most of the benefits, the Moose Factory Cree of Quebec, recognizing the priority of basic social needs and services, formed an association in 1980, which they named MoCreebec.
