The Past and Future are options… the
Present is our common ground…
Background
Clan families are the “natural core” of the
MoCreebec Community.
The MoCreebec Constitution states:
“The
MoCreebec Constitutional Framework is the result of extensive community
discussion which began [in 1992] as part of a project to develop a Political
and Socio-Economic Strategy for MoCreebec members’ future in Moose Factory and
Moosonee. After weighing the various options outlined in an earlier edition of
the MoCreebec Handbook, members chose to empower their own governing system,
based on the principles of equality, independence and self-reliance, drawing
strength from the community’s natural core, … THE
FAMILY.”
Clan
Council Meetings will include the following agenda items:
- Introduction and review of draft Community Engagement Toolkit
- Discussions about Community Decision-making Protocol, as it relates to lands and resources issues
- Introduction to the Senior Development Officer (SDO) and how the SDO can assist with Clan Councils and building dialogue
- Overview of current and projected lands and resources issues
- Introduction to Community Engagement Blog and YouTube page
- Opportunity to sign MoCreebec Oath
Decision-making is a complex matter that
requires good intentions and due diligence on the part of those tasked with
providing leadership to others.
“The MoCreebec people want to be assured that their Association will
continue and will evolve as it assumes a greater role in the community
affairs.” –Allan Jolly
(Opening Remarks by Allan Jolly before Federal Review
Committee on May 4, 1983 in Ottawa)
“Today MoCreebec members have houses where
tents were before. They also have a community built on shared principles and a
shared future.”
“Today, choosing again to pursue their own
path, MoCreebec members ratified the MoCreebec Constitutional Framework on June
6, 1993.”
“The MoCreebec Constitutional Framework is
about opening up opportunities for the community…”
MoCreebec Handbook
Followership:
We all have the choice to follow gracefully…
Not everyone can be a leader. Leaders are selected,
groomed, and supported by followers. Being a follower is a valuable role in any
community. Being a follower is not something to be looked down upon. Being an
ineffective follower, however, is something to be avoided. Therefore, the
question one needs to ask oneself is HOW DO I BECOME AN EFFECTIVE FOLLOWER IN
SUPPORT OF THE COMMON GOOD OF MY COMMUNITY?
The strength of a community can be found
in how well it serves those most in need…
