Métis culture will continue to be lived and celebrated when we pass our knowledge on to the generations who follow us. Everyone is on a learning journey. While exploring historical and contemporary Métis ways of knowing and doing, these learning packages provide knowledge and understanding for students and teachers. Topics include: Traditional Harvesting Methods, Geographical Terms, Music and Dance, Conversational Michif, Beading, and Traditional Foods. The lesson plans and videos highlight Knowledge Keepers walking in the tall prairie grass, Elders preparing la galette (bannock), students learning Michif numbers, and family greeting each other for tea. We hope these resources will assist you in your learning.

All Nations Hope Network, Saskatchewan has created a resource for the sacred story of the Mistasiniy including background information into story telling from generation to generation. The atayohkewina (sacred story) is presented with both English and Cree. The sacred telling of Buffalo Child, is a living narrative of how Buffalo Child stone (Mistasiniy) came into being. We follow the life story of a little boy called Buffalo Child, as he transitions into manhood within the embrace of his buffalo family. In this âtayôhkewina - sacred story, we trace Buffalo Child’s transformation as a human and into a four legged being, finally his manifestation into stone. The sacred telling ends in the demise of Mistasiniy.

C’est déjà le temps de penser à la grosse fête annuelle de ma famille. C’est très difficile de planifier cette fête par moi-même. Eh bien, cette année, tous mes frères et soeurs aideront avec les tâches. On aura besoin de beaucoup d’objets pour cette fête, comme des jeux pour les jeunes, de la nourriture, de la musique, une grosse tente avec plusieurs tables et chaises pour s’asseoir, et beaucoup d’autres choses que vous penserez pour avoir du plaisir. Mes frères et soeurs diront ce qu’ils feront pour la grande fête.
**Ce site vous offre une histoire en Michif avec le français et l'anglais aussi.

The University of Regina Press has made a number of excellent resources available online for open access. These resources, developed by Jean Okimâsis include a grammar guide, a workbook, and links to audio resources. The resource include: - a grammar guide, available as a PDF for download - a link to the Language Lab user guide - a Language Lab Workbook - a Soundcloud link to Cree Language of the Plains audio sessions - an Open Access link to a page that has all the above resources available in different formats.
Jean Okimâsis and Arok Wolvengrey also wrote a fantastic resource “How to Spell it in Cree“, which you can download as a PDF. It lays out the rules of a standardized written Cree, but also does important work of addressing the criticisms of standardization. It challenges the notion that we can ever use English to ‘phonetically’ represent the Cree language, champions a specific orthography for Cree, and describes how standardization, rather than destroying or degrading the language, will help ensure Cree continues to survive.
