When I was a boy my uncle tryed to teach me Cree...the language of my ancestors. I can only remember his voice. But now there is this dictionary that allows me to find precise meanings for words I dont remember clearly. The book will help keep the traditions of my people alive. an excellent book...highly recomended

This is a terrific dictionary with thousands of entries in both the Northern and Plains Cree dialects. Entries also include multiple word forms to help language learners, and there is a supplement of modern Cree words (remember, Cree is still very much a spoken language, with many people who use it as their mother tongue). Grammar and pronunciation guide are not included.

This was a Godsend find. I'm of 1/4 Cree decent and my daughter and I are trying to learn our ancient language. All the other sources for this book wanted more than my budget could spare. This source made it possible for us to take another step closer to our native roots. Thank-you.
