Description: "This dictionary includes extensive Cree-English and English-Cree sections. It also includes parts of speech, a "New Terms" supplement to the English-Cree section, appendices on kinship terms, months and numbers, and terms commonly used in government, courts and other institutions." "The Cree people constitute the largest Aboriginal language group in Alberta, and many other Cree-speakers live across Canada. This dictionary is based upon both Northern Cree (the "TH" dialect) and Plains Cree (the "Y" dialect)." "Work on the dictionary began in the mid 1970s through the initiative of Nancy LeClaire, a Cree nun from Hobberna. The dictionary has since had many other generous and dedicated contributors from among Alberta's Cree speakers." "Designed for: schools, families, businesses, governments, media, speakers, students and teachers of Cree."--Jacket.
