ENOCH CREE NATION
Enoch Cree Nation is 20 square miles located just west of, and adjacent to, the City of Edmonton, on Highway 60. Enoch Cree Nation entered into Treaty on September 25, 1877 and is proud member of the Confederacy of Treaty Six. Our people descend from The Plains Cree and are now 2,566+ band members strong. We are connected to this land, and strive to be stewards of Okimaw askiy, mother earth. We are a vibrant community, connected with our culture through our language, stories, songs, dance and ceremony. The Cree name for Enoch is maskêkosihk (pronounced Muss-Kay-Go-Sik) and translates as "people of the land of medicine".
maskêkosak newowacistwan nâtamâkêwin society
The maskêkosak newowacistwan nâtamâkêwin society (mnn Society) is mandated to oversee the support services for maskêkosihk that will promote, protect, and support the well-being, resilience, and strength of our children, youth and families. Children are precious gifts whose guidance and nurturing require the entire community's involvement. The mnn Society will initially deliver Prevention-based services, Youth Supports and upon completion of the Enoch Cree Nation’s Children’s Services Law, the Society will also deliver intervention services. The mnn Society will also administer financial and human resources and coordinate with other service providers.
Developed around the power of the circle the building is organized internally to represent the 4 quadrants of the Medicine Wheel. This circular form creates an internal courtyard for ceremonial and additional outdoor program space for staff. From the main entry, reception and gathering space, the eastern section is used for counseling and visitation rooms to help families reconnect and deal with the intergenerational trauma that has affected our First Nations communities. The south quadrant is devoted to the teaching spaces that allow for clients to connect with their traditions and celebrate their unique Cree culture. Staff areas are located in the west and north quadrants with a series of cellular offices, open work areas and support spaces. As a whole the building provides an emotional, spiritual, physical and mental strength that is needed to support strong families and community.
The building is designed to accommodate sustainable features in the form of geo-exchange heating and cooling and solar array on the south facing roof areas. The building will be constructed using piles and grade beams with a crawlspace and composite concrete main floor. The superstructure of the building will comprise mass timber.
