Utoo Radio with Other News Sources - February 12, 2025 - The James Bay Cree, Huron-Wendat, Naskapi, and Mi'gmaq of Gespe'gewa'gi nations have partnered to become majority owners of the Hilton Hotel in Quebec City.

The Cree have already invested in hotels in Val-d'Or, Dorval, and Gatineau, but this is their first time partnering with other Indigenous nations.

The partnership, Atenro, translates to "friendship" in the Wendat language.

The Hilton Quebec is located on Wendat traditional territory and is a tourist hotspot and city between nations.

The Hilton group plans to redesign parts of the hotel to reflect each culture, hiring Indigenous artists from each home territory.

The hotel will provide a comfortable stay for visitors and serve as a gathering place for conferences and business meetings, particularly for Indigenous people.
