Follow the youth from the Cree Nation of Wemindji as they paddle 120km and 10 days down the  Paakumshumwaashtik and Paakumshumwaau (Old Factory Lake and Old Factory River) to Eeyouch (AKA James Bay)!

Following the traditions of their ancestors, for the last 25+ years, the voyage has allowed participants the opportunity to learn and experience Cree culture, connect with the land, meet new people, work together, practice perseverance in tough times, and develop new life skills. The trip retraces a traditional canoe route that their ancestors used to travel inland to the Bay and vice versa. The elders travel with the youth teaching them survival skills on many aspects of life.
