Cree language 

"The reminscences and personal stories in this collection tell us about the daily lives of Cree women over the past century: household chores, snaring rabbits and picking berries, going to school, marriage, bearing and raising children. Seven Cree women share memories about their lives and the history of their people, and provide insights into the traditional teachings of a society where practical and spiritual matters are never far apart.

Recorded in their own language, these women speak with warmth and humour about their memories and their reflections on how people live today. Their stories span several generations, from the present back to reports of their own grandmothers' lives in the bush and on the reserve, giving a clear picture of the role of women in Cree society.

The stories are presented in the original Cree, with English translations on facing pages for easy comparison, and also in Cree syllabics."--Back cover.
