THE CREE PEOPLE

The Cree people were hunting moose and caribou and trapping beaver in the forests of North America long before the arrival of Europeans. They lived in birch-bark wigwams and paddled canoes on waterways rich with fish. When the Europeans came, the Cree traded their animal pelts for other goods.

The Canadian Cree mostly live in the region from Alberta to Québec, as well as portions of the Plains region in Saskatchewan. The American Cree live in the Rocky Mountains region and along parts of the Atlantic Coast. Few Cree today speak their traditional language. Most speak French in Canada and English in the United States. While some Cree continue to make their livelihood from trapping, others work in the mining industry or frozen fish factories.
