Covid Christmas Have a merry by Nation Staff … And a happy pandemic New Year

Is it just us or does the old saying, “You don’t know what you have till it’s gone” ring especially true this year? After November 1 we may even miss the Christmas carols playing ad nauseum until New Year’s at our favourite businesses. Likely gone as well are hour-long lineups at department stores and fist fights over $100 TVs at Walmart on Black Friday. Hey, maybe this isn’t so bad?

That’s right folks, we’re staying home this year to curb the spread of Covid-19 – so join us as we start crossing items off our Christmas lists early by indulging in our favourite coronavirus-coping-mechanism: online shopping.

12 Days of Christmas Bundle

$99.95

Any coffee lover in your life will appreciate these fair-trade beans, even more because for every 50 bags sold online, Birch Bark buys water purifiers for Indigenous homes experiencing boil-water advisories. The Ottawa-based company also supports small farmers in Latin America and has earned rave reviews for their freshly roasted, organic blends.

Your cup will taste better knowing you’re supporting an Indigenous inclusion continuum. Founder Mark MarsolaisNahwegahbow, a member of the Whitefish River First Nation in northern Ontario, recently received a CANIE Indigenous entrepreneur award for his efforts. birchbarkcoffeecompany.com/ If you’re struggling to find the perfect gift for a special someone in your life, here’s a hint: self-care never goes out of style.

Full Size - $82.99

Winters can be cold, but there’s no reason you have to be. Big enough for two, yet cozy enough for one person to fully envelop themselves, this heated polar fleece blanket is guaranteed to keep the winter chills at bay. With four different levels of heat, you can stay as warm as you want.

The blanket comes with an automatic feature to power off after 10 hours, as well as an overheat protection for your safety and energy-saving concerns. A 14-foot cable ensures you more mobility. The blanket is also machine washable. www.amazon.ca The Nation’s Annual Christmas Shopping Guide

Comfort

Intelex Warmies Plush Slippers

$41.14

Look more forward to the long winter ahead with these Oprah-approved slippers that can be safely microwaved for a little added heat. They contain specially treated dried millet seeds and a hint of dried lavender flowers for both warmth and aromatherapy.

As feet are particularly susceptible to winter chills, a good pair of slippers can go a long way. Although reviews suggest there is limited support on the bottom, the soft plush cushioning is heavenly. www.amazon.ca

Lululemon Leggings

$59-$168 Arguably the originator of women’s active-wear fashion (just don’t tell the 1980s), Lululemon has an extensive and expensive library of leggings available through its online store. But the high price tags are part of what makes these an ideal gift. Most people won’t spend that much on themselves. This is where you come in. And, oh, by the way, my wife tells me they’re totally worth the money.

However, they also have inexpensive options starting around $60 with pricier leggings clocking in at three times that. shop.lululemon.com/

HAPPY 45TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE JBNQA

On November 11, 1975, we signed the first modern treaty and land claims Agreement with Quebec and Canada to establish a new relationship between our Nations. What began as an awakening call to action over bush radios to oppose the government’s plan to expropriate portions of Eeyou Istchee for development, led to a landmark agreement which recognizedcertain rights and provided protections for our Nation. Today, we continue to enjoy those rights and protections and our people can enjoy a way of life that we have practiced since time immemorial. In the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement were certain guarantees related to culture, language, ways, traditional activities, and ancestral lands. Further, the development of any institutions and systems within Eeyou Istchee had to respect Cree values, ways and understandings. We as a Nation had to be vigilant to protect and implement these rights and breathe life into the Agreement. Our populations and communities grew, and with them our own institutions. On JBNQA Day, we thank those who stepped forward then and continue to do so each and every day to ensure our Nation is strong, and the rights and interests recognized in this Agreement continue to be implemented in a way that continues to preserve our identity and build upon our strengths together.

ZOLEO Satellite Communicator

$269

Out on the land, water or road? No cell coverage? Well, the ZOLEO connects to an Iridium satellite network through your phone or tablet so you’re never out of touch. You can let others know you’re okay by sending and receiving messages or by sharing your GPS location. It can tell you the weather forecast wherever you may happen to be. But most importantly, it has a SOS alert that’s monitored 24/7. The Nation tried it out and recommends this for all Cree. www.zoleo.com/

Foldable Survival Shovel and Multitool

$45.99

What to get for the man that has it all? Well, maybe something he’s never thought of. This stainless-steel folding shovel and multitool is the perfect thing to keep in the car, boat, ATV, skidoo or wherever it might come in handy. The shovel includes a saw function, while the rest of the tools – including a knife, fire starter, whistle, screwdrivers and emergency hammer – are stored in the handle.

Online, some reviewers have said the knife needs to be sharpened first, but beyond that, you get a durable tool that can be used in many situations. Collapsing into a carrying case that fits into your hand, it expands to over two-and-a-half feet long when fully assembled. www.amazon.ca

Grayl Geopress Water Purifier

$119.95

While not everyone wants to spend $100 on a water bottle, when you’re out in the bush and thirsty, this one will keep you hydrated and safe no matter the drinking source. Its heavy-duty filtering and purification system is designed to keep out bacteria, viruses and chemicals.

It works like a French-press coffee maker with something called a sub-micron trap for removing pathogens and unwanted odours and flavours. For rugged explorers, it’s also durable enough to withstand 10-foot drops onto rocks. www.amazon.ca

Next Gen Gaming Consoles

$399-$499 This will be one of the most popular gifts and thus the hardest to obtain this Christmas season. Microsoft and Sony will be releasing their next generation gaming consoles in early November (Xbox Series X November 10, PS5 November 12). Both developers promise their new consoles will make a significant step in terms of graphics, frame rates and processing speeds making them competitive with top-of-the-line gaming PCs for a fraction of the price. Both the new Xbox and PlayStation will have disc and discless options as well as variable pricing depending on how much memory you will need. The only choice left to make is whether you’re on team Xbox or PlayStation. www.ebgames.ca/

Moistenland Hydroponics Growing System Starter Kit

$122.99

Have you or your loved ones ever dreamed of having your own year-round herb or veggie garden? With the latest in hydroponic technology, easily grown fresh and delicious foods can be always available. The system relies on LED lights to replace the sun on a controlled timer, requiring only the addition of water, nutrient solution and seed pods – sold separately.

Within a few weeks, you can have a flourishing harvest ready to eat. Choose from herbs like basil, thyme, sage or parsley, vegetables like cherry tomatoes and peppers, or even strawberries. The hydroponic kit has room for up to 12 plants to grow in soil-free biochar mud, up to five times faster than plants would grow outdoors. Some people even use the device to give outdoor plants a head start before replanting them outside. Either way, you’ll be able to enjoy fresh food in any season. www.amazon.ca

$130.24

Portal from Facebook

$179 - $379

With social-distancing protocols in place until a vaccine is approved to treat Covid-19, perhaps a good gift to give that faraway friend or relative is a face-to-face conversation. Portal from Facebook is a video-calling device that comes in two forms – a tablet or camera that plugs directly into your TV. With excellent image and sound, it puts video calling from your cellphone, computer or tablet to shame. It’s also easy to use and set up, even for the technophobe. All it requires is an internet connection and a Facebook or WhatsApp account.

Vamvo Mini Projector L4200

$169.99 Home projectors are all the rage, and for good reason – with more of us spending time at home, there’s never been a better time to enjoy the big-picture cinema experience chez nous. This compact model delivers 720p HD images with a surprisingly bright bulb, meant to last 50,000 hours. Connect to your TV, computer or favourite game console to turn any wall (or suspended white sheet) into a 200-inch screen.

While the projector has built-in speakers, you can also use your own to supplement the experience. The only downside is that it won’t be visible during a bright day outside – making it unbeatable in the long dark winters. The package includes a remote control, carrying case and several cables, but check to make sure you don’t need another cable for whatever device you want to connect. www.amazon.ca

Commemorating the 45th Anniversary of the Signing of our Treaty— the James Bay and Northern Québec Agreement, November 11, 1975

The James Bay and Northern Québec Agreement (JBNQA) was signed on November 11, 1975 by the Government of Québec, the Government of Canada, Hydro-Québec, the Grand Council of the Crees of Québec and the Northern Québec Inuit Association. Described by many as the “first modern treaty,” the JBNQA created a new legal and eventually a constitutional framework for, among other things, local self-governance, land management, protection of the traditional Cree way of life as well as the relationship between the Québec and the Indigenous peoples of the James Bay and Northern Québec region.

The Agreement was signed within a very unique historical context—the ambition on the part of Québec to develop the James Bay hydroelectric potential and the determination on the part of the Crees and the Inuit to protect our lands and advocate for our rights. Over the last 45 years, our leaders have worked diligently to ensure that no development can take place on our traditional lands without our engagement and involvement.

Most importantly, our Treaty created the foundation upon which we have continued to build and grow for four-and-a-half decades. In 1975 our nation numbered 6,000 and today we are 20,000 strong in 11 communities. Our growth has been made possible by the vision, the determination and the strength of our leaders who have undertaken difficult struggles to ensure that our rights as Indigenous people and as Crees would be given full expression.

It was on that foundation that we have been able to conclude over 80 subsequent agreements including some very major agreements which have extended the scope of the self-governance of our communities and the territory. Among these major additional agreements are the “Paix des Braves” with Québec, New Relationship Agreements with Canada, additional governance agreements with Canada and Québec, and other significant initiatives such as the recent “Grande Alliance”.

These thoughtful agreements and our tenacity helped transform and modernize our communities. In combination, all these advances have brought us to a point in our historic evolution where we are able, more and more, to direct our own future and chart our own course, armed with our traditional knowledge, culture, language, values, and focussed on the best interests of our people, our communities and our Nation.

Nowhere has the significance of the cumulative result of all these achievements, and nowhere has the value of all these milestones become more evident than in the way in which we have been able to address the COVID-19 pandemic which we currently find ourselves in.

It is precisely because of the advances we have made in governing ourselves that we have been able to put into place the measures that have been adapted to our own circumstances, our own needs and our own approach to securing the safety and the health of our people. We have not simply incorporated the recommendations and the precautionary measures that have been developed for regions of Québec that are vastly different from our own, but instead, we have engaged our own experts in our Cree Health Board’s Public Health Department, together with our communities, to develop the measures and precautions that address the unique and distinct needs of our communities.

Let there be no mistake. We could not have undertaken these special measures without the resources, without the Cree governance framework, and without the nation-building vision of our leadership and people. We have gradually, over the course of the last 45 years developed the tools and the knowledge to be able to address the current challenges in a way that reflects the concerns and the needs of our people.

It is in this context that we once again express our gratitude to our people’s fearless vision and to the leaders of the past 45 years and that we celebrate this anniversary of the signing of the James Bay and Northern Québec Agreement.

Gratitude in celebrating a milestone:
