Elder Isabel Arcand from the Alexander First Nation sits down with Bent Arrow to give us a teaching on the Cree Language. The Cree language is divided into five major dialects, accounting for their regional variations: Western/Plains Cree, Northern/Woodlands Cree, Central/Swampy Cree, Moose Cree, and Eastern Cree. The Cree languages are spoken by approximately 117,000 people across Canada. This spans from the Northwest Territories to Alberta to Labrador. If classified as one language, it is the aboriginal language with the highest number of speakers in Canada. Elder Arcand frequently visits Bent Arrow for our Cultural Camp, Tipi Teachings and cultural outings such as Moose Nose Preparation and Medicine Picking.
