The Cree people constitute the largest Aboriginal 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 LeClair, a Cree nun from Hobbema. The dictionary has since had many other generous and dedicated contributors from among Alberta's Cree speakers.
Despite its many years in the making, this dictionary will continue to grow and change along with a living language, helping Cree youth become more fluent in their language, and providing a bridge for others to appreciate its beauty.
