My ever-expanding tool-kit

Our program coordinators encourage us to think in terms of amassing a language-learning "portfolio" — basically, the set of materials we each use on our own time to bolster what we learn in class. I thought I'd share some of what's in mine:

* some modified flash cards, where the English is covered up with Cree

* music CDs, including Carl Quinn's two releases, "Nehiyo" and "Ni ototem" as well as Dolores Sand's "Classics in Cree"

* Cree grammar cassettes from the University of Alberta's "Introductory Cree" course, and for the textbook, "Cree: Language of the Plains/nehiyawewin: paskwawi-pikiskwewin" by Okimasis & Ratt

If you know of any Cree resources that may be of help — preferably in the Y dialect —please drop me a line.
