Algonquian languages
The Algonquian languages (also Algonkian; or ) are a subfamily of Native American languages which includes most of the languages in the Algic language family. The name of the Algonquian language family is distinguished from the orthographically similar Algonquin dialect of the Ojibwe language, which is a member of the Algonquian language family. The term "Algonquin" derives from the Maliseet word elakómkwik (), "they are our relatives/allies". Most Algonquian languages are extremely endangered today, with few native speakers. A number of the languages have already become extinct.

After the Tuscarora nation joined the League in 1722, the Iroquois became known as the Six Nations. The League is embodied in the Grand Council, an assembly of fifty hereditary sachems.

North-West Rebellion
The North-West Rebellion (or the North-West Resistance, Saskatchewan Rebellion, or Second Riel Rebellion) of 1885 was a brief and unsuccessful uprising by the Métis people of the District of Saskatchewan under Louis Riel against the Dominion of Canada, which they believed had failed to address their concerns for the survival of their people. Despite some early victories at Duck Lake, Fish Creek and Cut Knife, the rebellion resulted in the destruction of numerous Métis and allied Aboriginal forces, and the hanging of Louis Riel. Tensions between French Canada and English Canada increased for some time. Due to the role that the Canadian Pacific Railway played in transporting troops, political support increased and the legislature authorized funds to complete the nation's first transcontinental railway.

Cree Summer-Fall
From the 1999 album Street Faerie. Fall lyrics I'm browning, I'm wrinkling, you don't see I shrivel more into colors you ignore As the earth swallows me You crush the fire red Standing on my head you crush the fire red Leaving me for dead Splendid decay spiraling down to my toes Yellow wilts holes for you to see through Crumpled blue my bare pink womb can't shelter you You crush the fire red Standing on my head you crush the fire red Leaving me for dead Splendid decay spiraling down to my toes Black stemmed orange trimmed With the slightest wind I'm falling from you Dry and loud stained and proud Like a bursting cloud I'm falling from you You're so mean when you scream in bright green In my ear you're loud and clear I can hear Sunken and gray you used to say I'm not enough for you I will bleed you a seed to start a new I'm falling from you Black stemmed orange trimmed With the slightest wind I'm falling from you Dry and loud stained and proud Like a bursting cloud I'm falling from you

In the United States, this Algonquian-speaking people lived historically from Lake Superior westward. Today, they live mostly in Montana, where they share a reservation with the Ojibwe (Chippewa).
The documented westward migration over historic time has been strongly associated with their roles as middle men and hunters in the North American Fur Trade.
Tribes
The Cree Nation is generally divided into eight groups (some political, others cultural):# ''Naskapi'' (Innu) and # ''Montagnais'' (Innu) are inhabitants of an area they refer to as Nitassinan. Their territories comprise most of the present-day political jurisdictions of eastern Quebec and Labrador. Their cultures are differentiated, as the Naskapi are still caribou hunters and more nomadic than the Montagnais, but the Montagnais have more settlements. The total population of the two groups in 2003 was about 18,000 people, of which 15,000 lived in Quebec. Their dialects and languages are the most distinct from the Cree spoken by the groups west of Lake Superior. # ''Attikamekw'' are inhabitants of the area they refer to as Nitaskinan (Our Land), in the upper St. Maurice River valley of Quebec (about 300 km north of Montreal). Their population is around 4,500. # James Bay Cree - Grand Council of the Crees; approximately 16,357 Cree (''Iyyu'' in Coastal Dialect / ''Iynu'' in Inland Dialect) of the James Bay and Nunavik regions of Northern Quebec. # Moose Cree - Moose Factory in the Cochrane District, Ontario; this group lives on Moose Factory Island, near the mouth of the Moose River, at the southern end of James Bay. # Swampy Cree - this group lives in northern Manitoba along the Hudson Bay coast and adjacent inland areas to the south and west, and in Ontario along the coast of Hudson Bay and James Bay. Some also in eastern Saskatchewan around Cumberland House. It has 4,500 speakers. # Woods Cree group in northern Alberta and Saskatchewan. # Plains Cree 34,000 people in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Montana.
Collectively the Cree used the autonym ''Nēhilawē'' (those who speak our language). They used "Cree" to refer to their people only when speaking the languages of the European colonists, French or English.
Skilled American bison hunters and horsemen, the Plains Cree were allied with the ''Assiniboine'' and the ''Saulteaux'' before they encountered French settlers in the 18th century.
Name
The name "Cree" is derived from the Algonkian-language exonym ''Kiristino'', which the Ojibwa used for tribes around Hudson Bay. The French colonists and explorers, who spelled the term ''Kilistinon'', ''Kiristinon'', and ''Cristinaux'', used the term for numerous tribes which they encountered north of Lake Superior, in Manitoba, and west of there. The French used these terms to refer to various groups of peoples in Canada, some of which are now better distinguished as Severn Anishinaabe (Ojibwa), who speak languages different from the Algonkian or the Cree. Depending on the community, the Cree may call themselves by the following names: the ''nēhiyaw'', ''nīhithaw'', ''nēhilaw'', and ''nēhinaw''; or ''ininiw'', ''ililiw'', ''iynu'' (''innu''), or ''iyyu''. These names are derived from the historical autonym ''nēhiraw'' (uncertain meaning) or from the historical autonym ''iriniw'' (meaning "person"). Cree using the latter autonym tend to be those living in the territories of Quebec and Labrador.
Language
The Cree language (also known in the most broad classification as Cree-Montagnais, Cree-Montagnais-Naskapi, to show the groups included within it) is the name for a group of closely related Algonquian languages spoken by approximately 117,000 people across Canada, from the Northwest Territories to Labrador. It is the most widely spoken aboriginal language in Canada. The only region where Cree has official status is in the Northwest Territories, together with eight other aboriginal languages.The two major groups: Nehiyaw and Innu, speak a mutually intelligible, Cree dialect continuum, which can be divided by many criteria. In a dialect continuum, "It is not so much a language, as a chain of dialects, where speakers from one community can very easily understand their neighbours, but a Plains Cree speaker from Alberta would find a Québec Cree speaker difficult to speak to without practice."
One major division between the groups is that the Eastern group palatalizes the sound to either (c) or to (č) when it precedes front vowels. There is also a major difference in grammatical vocabulary (particles) between the groups. Within both groups, another set of variations has arisen around the pronunciation of the Proto-Algonquian phoneme *l, which can be realized as or (th) by different groups. Yet in other dialects, the distinction between (ē) and (ī) has been lost, merging to the latter. In more western dialects, the distinction between and (š) has been lost, both merging to the former.
If the consonants and * used in Cree are compared to their English counterparts, it is noticeable that there is little distinction of voicing. In English, voicing marks the difference of meaning in words such as "bin : pin". Since there is not distinction of voicing in Cree, it is common for variants of to sound more like without any difference in meaning.
In Canada
The Cree are the largest group of First Nations in Canada, with over 200,000 members and 135 registered bands. This large population may be a result of the Crees' traditional openness to inter-tribal marriage. Together, their reserve lands are the largest of any First Nations group in the country. The largest Cree band and the second largest First Nations Band in Canada after the Six Nations Iroquois is the Lac La Ronge Band in northern Saskatchewan.The Métis (from French Métis - any person of mixed ancestry) are people of mixed ancestry, such as Nehiyaw (or Anishinaabe) and French, English, or Scottish heritage. According to Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, the Métis were historically the children of French fur traders and Nehiyaw women or, from unions of English or Scottish traders and northern Dene women (Anglo-Métis). Generally in academic circles, the term Métis can be used to refer to any combination of persons of mixed Native American and European heritage, although historical definitions for Métis remain. Canada's Indian and Northern Affairs broadly define Métis as those persons of mixed First Nation and European ancestry.
In the United States
At one time the Cree were located in northern Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana. Today they live as part of the federally recognized Chippewa Cree tribe, located on the Rocky Boy Indian Reservation in Montana. They share the reservation with the Pembina Band of Chippewa Indians, who form the "Chippewa" half of the Chippewa Cree tribe. (In Canada the Chippewa are known as Ojibwa.) Traditionally, the southern limits of the Cree territory in the United States were the Missouri River and the Milk River in Montana.

Notable Cree Chiefs
''Mistāwasis'' ("Big Child", also known as Pierre Belanger), Chief of the Parklands/Willow Cree (''Paskokopāwiyiniwak''), born about 1813. He was one of the influential chiefs of the House Cree or ''Wāskahikaniwiyiniwak'', supplied between 1852–1854 Fort Carlton with bison meat and pemmican, acquired in his youth by constant military conflicts the respect of Crowfoot, the chief of the Siksika, the Blackfoot called Mistāwasis respectfully “The Iron Buffalo of the Plains”) Ahtahkakoop ("Starblanket"), Chief of the House Cree (''Wāskahikaniwiyiniwak''). He was born about 1815-16, signed together with his cousin, ''Mistāwasis'' in 1876 the Treaty 6 at Fort Carlton, where he agreed that his group were settled into a reserve near the present-day Prince Albert, died 4th December 1896 at the age of 81 years) Ahchuchhwahauhhatohapit (''Ahchacoosacootacoopits'' - ‘Starblanket’, Chief of a band of Calling River Cree (''Kātēpwēwi-sīpīwiyiniwak''), born about 1845 in the lower Qu’Appelle Valley, son of ''Wāpiy-mōsētōsis'' ("White Calf"), his tribal group was closely associated with the ''Ka Kichi Wi Winiwak'' under the leadership of chief ''Kakeesheway'' (‘Loud Voice’), and a close ally of ''Payipwāt'' ("Piapot"), the chief of the Cree-Assiniboine or "Young Dogs", 1879 after the disappearance of the bison Ahchuchhwahauhhatohapit settled on a reserve in the File Hills of the lower Qu'Appelle Valley, died 1917 in the Star Blanket reserve, Saskatchewan) ''Payipwāt'' (or Piapot: "[One who Knows the] Secrets of the Sioux"), also known as "Hole in the Sioux" or ''Kisikawasan'' - ‘Flash in the Sky’, Chief of the Cree-Assiniboine or the Young Dogs with great influence on neighboring Assiniboine, ''Downstream People'', southern groups of the ''Upstream People'' and Saulteaux (Plains Ojibwa), born 1816, kidnapped as a child by the Sioux, he was freed about 1830 by Plains Cree, significant Shaman, most influential chief of the feared Young Dogs, convinced the Plains Cree to expand west in the Cypress Hills, the last refugee for bison groups, therefore disputed border area between Sioux, Assiniboine, Siksika Kainai and Cree, refused to participate in the raid on a Kainai camp near the present Lethbridge, Alberta, then the Young Dogs and their allies were content with the eastern Cypress Hills to the Milk River, Montana, does not participate at the negotiations on the Treaty 4 of 1874, he and ''Cheekuk '', the most important chief of the Plains Ojibwa in the Qu'Appelle area, signed on 9th September 1875 the treaty only as preliminary contract, tried with the chiefs of the River Cree ''Minahikosis'' ("Little Pine") and ''Mistahi-maskwa'' ("Big Bear") to erect a kind of Indian Territory for all the Plains Cree, Plains Ojibwa and Assiniboine - as Ottawa refused, he asked 1879-80 along with ''Kiwisünce'' (''cowessess''- 'Little Child')and the Assiniboine for adjacent reserves in the Cypress Hills, ''Payipwāt'' settled in a reserve about 37 miles northeast of Fort Walsh, ''Minahikosis'' ("Little Pine") and ''Papewes'' (‘Lucky Man’) asked successfully for reserves near the Assiniboine or ''Payipwāt'' - this allowed the Cree and Assiniboine to preserve their autonomy - because they went 1881 in Montana on bison hunting, stole Absarokee horses and alleged cattle killed, arrested the U.S. Army the Cree-Assiniboine group, disarmed and escorted them back to Canada - now unarmed, denied rations until the Cree and Assiniboine gave up their claims to the Cypress Hills and went north - in the following years the reserves changed several times and the tribes were trying repeated until to the Northwest Rebellion in 1885 to build an Indian Territory, ''Payipwāt'' remained under heavy guard, until his death he was a great spiritual leader, therefore Ottawa deposed ''Payipwāt'' on 15 April 1902 as chief, died in April 1908 on Piapot Reserve, Saskatchewan)

Acting and voice acting career
Summer's career began in 1983 when she was cast as the voice of niece Penny on the original cartoon version of ''Inspector Gadget''. Her unique, throaty voice was instantly recognizable to casting agents (as well as viewers even today), who began frequently casting her in animated programs. Many of these were part of cult franchises, like ''The Care Bears Movie'' (1985) and ''Ewoks'' (1985, part of the ''Star Wars'' franchise).Audiences finally had a chance to put Summer's voice to a face when she was cast as the freespirited Winifred "Freddie" Brooks in ''The Cosby Show'' spin-off ''A Different World''. She remained a regular cast member of the show from 1988 through its end in 1993.
During the run of ''A Different World'', Summer continued working in voice acting. She was cast in the short-lived television series ''Sweet Justice'' in 1994 until its cancellation in 1995.

At the start of the series' third season in 1988, the cartoon series Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters episodes were expanded from their original half-hour format to last an hour, and the overall feel of the show was changed to be more youthful, with episodes having a lighter tone to be less frightening (even switching artistic styles from more serious to less). During the less serious segments, Cree voiced the sweet and helpful Chilly Cooper, neighborhood ice-cream woman and innocent love interest of Slimer.
In all, Summer has voiced over 100 animated characters between 1983 and 2006. These have spanned the realm of video games, cartoon television series, animated films and commercials.
