Cree History
From the Paleo-Indian period
onward, Cree people lived near the Great Lakes, across a big part of what
is now the northern United States and southern Canada. They spoke a language
that was related to the Algonquin language.
Many other people who lived near them also learned Cree as a second language,
because the Cree language was often used for trading between different groups
of people.
Cree people lived in small villages along the Great Lakes,
and got most of their food by hunting deer and small animals and gathering
wild rice. They lived a lot like their western neighbors, the Sioux.
