What does ASKI mean in Cree?
Today, as in the past for thousands of years, we, the Anishinaabe and Mushkegowuk Peoples, share the same understanding in describing ourselves. The words we use to describe ourselves show that we consider ourselves to be part of the land. Nishnawbe means people and Aski means land. So, we are literally the Nishnawbe Aski Nation – the people of the land. We love our land and have a special, sacred attachment to it and we believe that we must care for it as it has cared for us.
As I’ve said, over many centuries of living within our lands, both our peoples (Anishinaabe and Mushkegowuk) knew the land and what it gave us. As well, we have never forgotten our forefathers who used and cared for the land. We know our ancestors lived, died and are buried in many places in the land.
In terms of food, our ancestors lived well by sharing the animals, fish, birds that also inhabit the land, rivers and waters in our vast territory.
What is Neechi in Cree?
During the 1990s, unemployment, abandoned housing, drug dealing, prostitution and other gang activities were rife in Neechi’s immediate neighbourhood. Despite this, the worker-owned cooperative managed to stay afloat without any operating subsidies in its original location. Part of the reason lay in Neechi’s enduring commitment and connection to its broader community, hence its name, which means “sister/brother/friend” in Cree and Ojibwa. Most of Neechi’s roughly 45 most recent employees, as well as many past employees are aboriginal, the most of any retail operation in Canada, with many of them living in the area. Their dedication helped the Co-op survive some tough early years, with employees taking pay cuts at times to keep the business running.
In 2013, Neechi moved from its small corner location on Dufferin Street to a much larger 30,000-square-foot space on Main Street. While the move allowed room to open a small restaurant, an art gallery, and meeting space, redevelopment costs far exceeded the original estimates due to unexpected structural problems. The result was a significant level of debt, a problem magnified by too little working capital.
As a worker co-op, Neechi provided employment, training and collective business ownership to inner-city residents, and perhaps most importantly, it provided hope. But all that wasn’t enough to make up for the lack of supports and opportunities available to enterprises such as Neechi. Its closure will leave a big gap in the North End, but it wasn’t due to a lack of persistence or perseverance.
