"As a friend of the Natoaganeg Community Food Centre, I’m excited to share a special story about a recent community hunt with you. While men in our community often do the hunting, we were proud to see a mother and her two daughters joining us for our recent excursion in October. This was the first time they had hunted and harvested moose, making it a very special bonding moment for them and a wonderful way to share this tradition with a younger generation.
Overall, we had 30 people participate in this community hunt, which started about four years ago, including many youth and 7 or 8 people who had never hunted before. We were training individuals on how to hunt moose, which is an important skill that provides nutritious and plentiful moose meat for the winter season.
In addition to the hunt, we have been busy finishing, harvesting, and picking from our garden and greenhouse. We had lots of squash, tomatoes, onions, and peppers, which were donated to the local food bank and used for our drop-in meals."
As the holiday season approaches, Natoaganeg' Community Food Centre invite you to donate to support the work they are doing within the community. Your contributions will help the Food Centre to continue to grow, share, and hunt together, keeping traditions alive and the community strong.
If you choose to donate, you can do so here:

Chief Ginnish, Council and community leaders engaged with NB Premier Susan Holt, Minister of Indigenous Affairs Keith Chiasson, and MLA for Miramichi Bay-Neguac Sam Johnston to discuss key initiatives and challenges Natoaganeg is facing.
Chief Ginnish; On economic development, the graduation of the CEDI pilot program, attended by Keith Chiasson and Sam Johnston, marked a significant milestone. Discussions included a joint vision with the City of Miramichi for the former UPM site. Future efforts will focus on tax agreements and addressing social and economic inequities.
Regarding forestry and fisheries, current agreements, such as the AAC, were deemed insufficient to meet community needs. Leaders emphasized a commitment to sustainable forest and wildlife management, supported by peacekeeping initiatives.
In the area of health and care services, challenges were highlighted in accessing subsidies for special care homes, particularly when they are limited to Indigenous residents.
On education, there was strong advocacy for improved support for First Nations students in schools. Plans to introduce regional coordinators to enhance educational programming are set to begin in April.
For peacekeeping and justice, efforts to expand the peacekeeping team and address enforcement gaps in collaboration with the RCMP were discussed. Acknowledging intergenerational trauma, the community stressed the need for systemic investment in justice reform.
Premier Susan Holt addressed several key issues. She recognized Indigenous land rights and emphasized the importance of going beyond the duty to consult, advocating for deeper responsibility to uphold these rights. Work is underway on tax agreements and exploring opportunities to build own-source revenue (OSR) independent of government reliance.
Premier Holt also committed to facilitating collaborative efforts, ensuring that Chiefs and Councils lead initiatives while addressing structural resistance within government departments. Growth and collaboration remain central to addressing systemic challenges and fostering sustainable progress across departments and initiatives.
