About the Student Resource
A Little Plains Cree Book for Children contains useful noun categories, phrases, and some basic rules for the Plains Cree language. Following the themes of the Saskatchewan Curriculum Guide for Kindergarten to Grade 12 on Aboriginal Languages, the content focuses on terms familiar to the First Nations Cree people of Saskatchewan. This book should also be supplemented by total physical response (TPR) methods, in addition to teaching materials such as songs, games, and flash cards. Our hope is to encourage a basic understanding of the
e language so that learners are able to converse with Plains Cree speakers. The best path to fluency in the Plains Cree language is immersion, but learning one word at a time is a good place to start!

Reviews
"Suitable for elementary school-aged children, typically from kindergarten through early elementary grades (K to 5), the book aligns well with language arts and social studies curricula that emphasize multicultural perspectives and language revitalization efforts. Educators can integrate it to enhance students' language skills, deepen their understanding of Indigenous cultures, and promote cultural sensitivity in the classroom. By using this resource, educators not only support language revitalization goals but also empower students to appreciate and respect diverse cultural heritages, fostering a more inclusive educational environment that values Indigenous Knowledge and Traditions." - David D., Indigenous Educator & Administrator, Indigenous Books for Schools
