The Community
Waskaganish (Cree for "Little House") is a community of about 2,000 people and is the oldest Cree community in James Bay. As the birthplace of the Hudson's Bay Company and a vital historical site for both the Cree Nation and Quebec, Waskaganish stands at a complex intersection of history, culture, and progress that has helped create a nation.
Our Long-Standing Partnership
Our 15-year collaboration with the Cree Nation of Waskaganish has focused on honouring their rich heritage through historical research, a community-focused digital platform, and captivating video productions. This deep-rooted relationship has allowed us to serve as a consistent digital partner, adapting and evolving their online presence as the community grows.
Research, Writing & Web Development
A community's website is its digital home. With a deep understanding and respect for their heritage, we have designed and developed the Waskaganish website for over 15 years. To provide a glimpse into the community's incredible history, we conducted extensive research to write a comprehensive historical overview for the site. The narrative we crafted serves to connect the past, present, and future of the Cree Nation of Waskaganish, making their deep history accessible to a global audience while providing a vital resource for community members. Throughout our partnership, we have provided hands-on training to empower their staff to manage and update the site independently.
Promotional Video
For their momentous 350th anniversary celebration, we had the honor of creating a captivating promotional video. This piece served as both a promotional and fundraising tool, weaving together a brief history of the community with a teaser of the exciting events planned for the milestone celebration, helping to generate excitement and support.
