vintage Native American Cree Nation of Wemindji Banner

Description

vintage Native American Cree Nation of Wemindji Banner.
This trading post was founded in the 17th century and was alternately under British or French control. In 1959 the community was relocated about 45 km north to its present location (where Wemindji is now). Wemindji (Cree for "red ochre mountain") gets its name from the red pigment found in the hills surrounding it.
Great Piece for Collector of Native American items.
