Proverb
The
Cree are an indigenous people of North America whose people range
from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean in both Canada and
the United States. They now constitute the largest group of First
Nations people in Canada, and are referred to as Native Americans
in the United States. The Cree language is an Algonquian
language, and was once the most widely spoken in northern North
America. Currently, however, not all Crees are fluent in it, and
English or French are more commonly used.

Skilled
buffalo hunters and horsemen, the Cree were allied to the
Assiniboine of the Sioux before encountering English and French
settlers in the sixteenth century.
Presently
the remaining Cree in the United States live on the Rocky Boy
Reservation, which is shared with the Chippewa.
