nehiyawetan kikinahk? / Speaking Cree in the Home

"This is a welcome book for all who are interested in learning the Cree language, either for themselves alone or for themselves and their families. The book offers good guidance on the best practices in language learning based on the authors' personal experiences in their respective language journeys." Solomon Ratt , author of mâci-nêhiyawêwin / Beginning Cree "A major contribution, this book will be a useful resource in Cree classes, at both high school and university levels. But it is also useful for home use, as it describes the practical application of speaking Cree in the home and provides in an easy-to-read format and details a hands-on approach too." Dorothy Thunder (Plains Cree, Little Pine First Nation), Faculty of Native Studies, University of Alberta "The activity-based learning lessons that are presented here should serve as a model not only for teaching the language in a family setting, but in any other formal and informal settings, because they cover all aspects of teaching and learning; the content, variety of methods, appropriate timing and setting. . . . The pioneering in Cree language acquisition and revival has begun and hopefully this book reaches all interested individuals." Ken Paupanekis, author of Pocket Cree: A Phrasebook for Nearly All Occasions
