Cree (Nēhiyawēwin) is a group of closely related Algonquian languages spoken by around 100,000 people across central and northern Canada, from Quebec to Alberta. Cree has the largest indigenous-language speaker base in Canada and uses both the Latin alphabet and Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics — a writing system designed in the 19th century by missionary James Evans. Our Cree translation work is occasional and typically tied to Canadian-side First Nations documents being processed in the United States for cross-border family or academic purposes.
