here one answer chap,
The
Cree (historical autonym:
Nēhiraw;
French:
cri) are one of the largest groups of
First Nations in
North America, with over 200,000 members living in Canada. The major proportion of Cree in
Canada live north and west of
Lake Superior, in
Ontario,
Manitoba,
Saskatchewan,
Alberta and the
Northwest Territories. About 38,000 live in
Quebec.
In the
United States, this
Algonquian-speaking people historically lived from Lake Superior westward. Today, they live mostly in
Montana, where they share a reservation with the
Ojibwe (Chippewa).
The documented westward migration over time has been strongly associated with their roles as traders and hunters in the
North American Fur Trade.
