The
Cree (, , , etc.; ) are a
North American Indigenous people. They live primarily in
Canada, where they form one of the country's largest
First Nations. More than 350,000 Canadians are Cree or have Cree ancestry. The major proportion of Cree in Canada live north and west of
Lake Superior, in
Ontario,
Manitoba,
Saskatchewan,
Alberta, and the
Northwest Territories. About 27,000 live in
Quebec.
In the United States, Cree people historically lived from Lake Superior westward. Today, they live mostly in
Montana, where they share the
Rocky Boy Indian Reservation with
Ojibwe (Chippewa) people.
The documented westward migration over time has been strongly associated with their roles as traders and hunters in the
North American fur trade.
