Wachiya and welcome to our website.
We are Cree students who graduated from Badabin Eeyou School. Whapmagoostui is located at the mouth of the Great Whale River, on the Hudson Bay, north of the 55th parallel in Quebec, Canada.
We are over 700 crees living side by side with around 500 inuits and 150 non-aboriginals. That's why our village is also called Kuujjuarapik, Poste de la Baleine and Great Whale River. This cohabitation is unique in the Nunavik.
The WAF was an art studio and a coop, we did ceramic and pottery. We had a kiln and electric wheels. We designed dish sets, ceramic plaques, clocks, traditional figurines, tea pots, sacred pipes and ceramic murals. We also had a devision called the Circus Factory.
