Hi....
I recently started teaching and I find this site pretty useful with your resources. I have used this as one of my daily teaching resources. However, I do want to make a suggestion to you that I thought about the other day as I was making my Animal Unit worksheets.. considering the need for images or coloring pages that represent our way of life....It would be very useful for myself, along with other CLIP teachers if the site had tradional Cree clipart and coloring images. It is quite time consuming when we have to do it all manually. I am pretty sure the CLIP teachers would really use them for their benefit also. Please put this suggestion into consideration.
Thanks for this site.

Bonjour, je suis de descendance Cri (ma mère était Cri), j'habite la Gaspésie. Il manquait à ma vie de pouvoir parler ma langue maternelle (ma mère avait été adoptée bébé, alors elle ne la connaissait pas non plus). Je suis heureuse d'avoir accès aux merveilleux outils que vous avez mis en ligne gratuitement ! Mille mercis ! Quand je retournerai vous voir à la Baie James, je serai peut-être en mesure de mieux communiquer avec les gens extraordinaires qui composent ce territoire. Merci !

Let,s standardize our Cree spelling system and try to unite when it comes to creating new words for our dictionary from dialect to dialect. This will unite the Plains Cree and the East Cree etc. Thank you.

i would like to be able to speak my language again

I’d like to congratulate you on the wonderful lessons and exercise on your website. I’ve hoping to learn some Cree for a while now (I’ve spent a couple of summers now in Wemindji as a ‘science camp’ coordinator and as a student with the McGill protected areas project), but was finding it very difficult to hear the sounds well enough to reproduce them. The lessons on the website are excellent, though I’ve only just begun to learn from them. They keep ones attention, are just challenging enough, and seem to be very thorough. My ability to hear the words has increased enormously. I’m finding that they complement the conversation CD very effectively.



The website has always been helpful, but it has really made exciting leaps forward this year. Again, congratulations to you and your team.

With best regards,

Thank you ever so much for the wonder Eastern Cree language cree http://eastcree.org/en/index.html

My Dad and I are so thrilled to find this. After being urbanised for so long this is a holy grail. Thank you for all your hard work you and your members put into this project. We thought that we were loosing our family language.

This helps, we can only make our way back to James Bay every few years and only then do we get to hear and practice Cree. My aunt will be so proud, as she’d spent many hours at the kitchen table in Fort George trying to give me lessons.

This site actually brought me to happy tears.
