We gratefully acknowledge the contributions of the MLCN Cree Language Project and the creators of the Montreal Lake Cree Nation Cree Language App. This app, developed with Lifespark, is the first of its kind for our Nation, featuring 46 categories and over 1,150 Cree words and phrases recorded by language keepers. Along with the app, new resources such as visual images, games, and word finds are available under the nīhithawīwin (Woodland Cree language) tab on the Wicihsok website. These tools support language reclamation and provide user-friendly ways for students, families, and community members to strengthen Cree language learning.
