Hello there! I'm Will, your friendly neighbourhood guide on all things Cree. As an avid adventurer, I harbour a deep passion for the Cree language, evident in my comprehensive guides on expressing ourselves in this beautifully rich tongue. Whether you're learning how to say "Amen", "I love you, Mom" or even "White Woman", you're in good hands with me. When I'm not etching words in the Cree language, I'm usually chasing the "Moon" (ᐯᐦᑯᔭᐤ pîhkoya) into interesting new forests or paddling my "Canoe" (ᒋᒋᓂᐢ seeseenis) across quiet, serene lakes. Blackfoot is spoken not far from Cree, and it has become another language close to my heart, so you will now find my guides to Blackfoot here too. Join me on my linguistic-adventures. Awâsis ᐊᐋ wasis!
