Cree Language Retention Committee

It has been some time since we formed as a working unit to encourage the use of the Cree language. We usually meet in Saskatoon, coming from all locales. We work in a multitude of jobs dealing with the Cree language so that we do not lose our language, Cree, for we believe that if we lose our Cree language then we will lose our Cree culture.
