content: Fort George Cree notes and texts collected by Truman Michelson at Fort George on the shore of James Bay and at Great Whale River by Hudson Bay. The notes are mostly linguistic with some ethnological content. The texts are stories in Cree syllabary with English translations. John of Fort George provided most if not all of the Cree text while Oliver Lutet served as an interpreter.
