Located 40 minutes from Chibougamau, this cultural institute serves as a museum, archive, library, teaching centre, cultural centre, and a virtual hub designed for high-powered interactivity.
The building is beautifully designed and is tucked in the beautiful community of Oujé-Bougoumou, right beside a lake. Aanischaaukamikw’s bold design, and its massive laminated spruce beams, come from the essential structure of the traditional Cree sabtuan.
A remarkable experience for the visitor to the north, deep with cultural artifacts, interpretative stories about ancestral lands and the history of the Crees of Eeyouu Istchee.
A must-see for visitors wanting to learn more about Indigenous culture, heritage and tradition in a beautiful and interactive setting.
