Hiy hiy for the video nîcîwâkan. I'm of chippewa and cree ancestry, enrolled in turtle mountain but we don't really celebrate our heritage, but that's been changing the past 10 years or so and I'm really glad about it. I'm only 9/32 but I'm very proud to be Native and I want to learn all I can about my ancestors, I'm sure many of them deserve to be remembered for the strife they endured. Hiy hiy again!

[@oppsitewallyiscool21]

I love how the language is spoken 😊❤

[@Maz3324]

What a beautiful language .Thank you so much. I have always had an interest in Native American people and their art. Beautiful people are glad you can teach your language to others. Greetings from Australia 🤗

Im so glad TH-cam and the internet is making this accessible for people and archiving it for future generations. I am improving my Ukrainian from TH-cam but i think it will be cool to start learning some basic Cree too since i live in Canada and cryptology of alphabets is fun

[@pipilchocolate8654]

Thanks! I work with a sweet lady with dementia who is able to speak more Cree than English believe it or not! This helps!

[@vainexr]

im 4 years late, but thank you for this. im cree but i dont know my language at all, and ive been wanting to learn cree for a long time but my family members completely forgot how to speak it, so thank you :)

[@Doctor_Clump]

I've just got my Metìs status, probably the last of my family. Today is Truth and Reconciliation day in my part of Turtle Island (Canada). As a Metìs, my ancestors fall on both sides of the conflict. I'm a direct descendant of the atrocities inflicted on the people of Turtle Island, and the perpetrators of those atrocities. I've always felt disconnected from my heritage, so it really makes me happy that our history and our culture is finally becoming more accessible and our history is finally being given the attention and respect it deserves.

Where I live, and I live in Northern Manitoba. We say “ekosani” for “thank you”. But the cree language is very diverse and there’s also different dialects. It really depends when you are… thanks for this 🙂
