The Cree (Néhiyaw in Cree language; French: Cri in French) are one of the First Nations in North America. They are one of the largest groups.
In Canada, over 350,000 people are Cree or have Cree ancestors.[1] Most Cree in Canada live in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and the Northwest Territories.[2] About 27,868 of them live in Quebec.[3]
During their history in the United States, Cree people lived west of Lake Superior. Today, they live mostly in Montana, in the Rocky Boy Indian Reservation.[4] Ojibwe (Chippewa) people also live in that reservation.[4]
They have moved west over time because they were traders and hunters.[5]
