Thank you for this! I am half Cree and Haida and I grew up in the city. Away from my aboriginal family so I do not know a lot about my culture. I’m so greatful for videos like this. Thank you to this channel and the elder ❤
I liked that story because in my experience spiders and bears are creatures to be feared and respected. Gaining knowledge/assistance from them is not something I would have really considered which only leads to ignorance. What it must have been like to be in new territory and have the wisdom to respectfully observe the animals to learn their lessons and then put them to practice. If you're the first there, it's so incredibly clever.
Hello from Chisasibi, QC Thank you for sharing .. I used to have a phobia of spiders. Today I have so much respect for them. And even more now as hearing the Cree story of life and the connection to the spiritual realm 🪶
My great grandmother was Alice Apetakeshikow. Thank you for sharing this story. I have been researching my family history for a while and have recently started to look deeper into our ancestors past and what it means to be a member of Moose Cree First Nation. I can see I have a long way to go.
Wow I'm from Ontario California. Named after Ontario Canada. I wrote this about my town Ontario California Ever since I was four years old...Ontario has been my town, my home. Before this town was even first founded, there was a time when she was nearly surrounded, by grape vineyards for making fine wine. There were orchards where lemons and oranges grew; some tangerine, grapefruit and avocado too. From time to time, it just came and went...that sweet Sunkist scent. An aroma so familiar in the misty morning dew...always a citrus breeze blowing on our way to school. Since the Euclid Trolley Cars and Track, have retired and won't be coming back...The grassy Euclid Center Divide is now lined with roses both far and wide. And the lemon blossoms unique sweet scent, perfumes the warm spring air a hint. The nesting birds sound very very content because nature assures them another seasons free rent. The annual Autumn Santa Ana winds, mark the fall season before winter can begin. Its powerful gusts blow down the fresh pine air, that's almost to crisp for your nose to bare. And who does not enjoy the view of the snow dusted mountain peaks? What an awesome and breathless sight; especially if you catch a glimpse of how they glow in the full moons' light. So the next time these devil winds blow, just remember that they clean up our air; make the sun shine more bright; and from this sometimes dull, sunk-in valley, make all the mountains that surround us, an exclusively rare and beautiful sight. I am still proud to know and proud to show, a city where my family will live and grow, I feel it deep in the heart of my home town ..we call ONTARIO.

I’m Son of Jacob! My people I am here! Rejoice! Your new leader is here and what I can promise the pandemic will stop when she the land will be at her rightful husband! And the suffering will stop! Seek your creator it’s a fight you won’t have to do alone! But who will share and stand up and say! He’s here! Who would shout for joy! My people your only prolonging this! Look towards the grandfathers and grandmothers our ancestors! Have you forgotten a promised coming?
Hello Sirs! Greetings from Santa Cruz, California. I really enjoyed this video and am happy your father is keeping traditional storytelling alive. Norm is an active, engaging human! I am currently writing a paper on Moose Cree resilience for a native cultures course and would like to ask for consent to share a little of this knowledge in the paper. Warmly Daniel Davis
Thank you! I am Chippewa Cree - apart of the stone child Rez. its hard to learn about the history bc I moved around my whole life. if you have any books that could help me learn about tradition I would love to read it.
Thanks Stan, for your introduction and for your father's great presentation. My personal reaction? This video deserves to go viral. As well, irrespective of racial denomination or religion, I believe schools and libraries across Canada would do well to invite your father to meet and address our children. Thanks for this opportunity!
Thank you for this video. I am Cree and am trying to learn my culture and history. This is difficult becuase I live in Australia and am disconnected from my people. We have only just learned about who we are after decades of searching
I wonder at which era this happened? There is a story of the flood. In the nehiyaw creation story that i heard it actually goes back to the beginning- when there was only ekowa and the mind, humans were created way later.
No worse than any other religion/culture. My question always is does the story have value as a metaphor for something helpful for all of humanity, or is it divisive like most other creation stories?

The cree are interesting, I like finding out about the history of indigenous people.

i love this story
This creation story is astronomical.
I just came across your channel, I am Missanabee Cree First Nation perhaps we are related somehow. Thank you for your video
This was super helpful for my essay, thank you!
Thank you! I am Chippewa Cree - apart of the stone child Rez. its hard to learn about the history bc I moved around my whole life. if you have any books that could help me learn about tradition I would love to read it.
The Montana Cree book is all about Rocky boy.
This is different than the one I learned. Though I could be wrong as it is super hard to hear what he is saying. The transcript is not much help.
Meegwetch Bill. I'm honoured, I'm sure my father would also be. Keep me posted on peoples reaction.

Check out this video on TH-cam:
Cree Creation Story as told by my father, Norm Wesley.
Feel free to share.
Thank you for this video. I am Cree and am trying to learn my culture and history. This is difficult becuase I live in Australia and am disconnected from my people. We have only just learned about who we are after decades of searching
Thank you for allowing us to share his words
should've used a boom mic or a lapel mic
I wonder at which era this happened? There is a story of the flood. In the nehiyaw creation story that i heard it actually goes back to the beginning- when there was only ekowa and the mind, humans were created way later.
Thanks Brian. It's already in the works. I'm quite proud how it turned out.
+Stan Wesley Thanks brian what a beauty
Yes i heard it was Grandmother Spider who lowered us and the Wolverine and Bear who taught us how to survive
Is this woodland cree? Is it the same for plains cree?
The Crees are with the trees .
