Here is a question I had posed atWP:IPNA/Nish that I'm cross-posting here. As topics associated with Indigenous Peoples of the Americas are in need of better attention, IPNA proposes to restructure, bring about a macroproject to cover all of the Americas, create a new Indigenous Peoples of South America project, and have 6 regional subprojects or categories for both, with 2 multi-regional subproject/categories for the reorganized IPNA. The current proposal is to have IPNA/Nish to include all Cree peoples, and then this combined multi-regional subproject, together with a parallel multi-regional subproject covering all the various Dene peoples. Would we here at IPNA/Nish mind broadening of the scope to include all the Cree as well so that we have a set of dedicated group of people who would work on both Cree-related and Anishinaabe-related articles? Please go toWP:IPNA and comment on the project restructuring.Miigwech.CJLippert (talk)15:43, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Where was gotten info about total population Cree people in Canada? What sources?--Kaiyr (talk)15:05, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This is not intended in a harshly critical way, but...Going through Canadian gov't sources, it isnot easy to distinguish Cree reservations from non-Cree, and many First Nations comprise both Cree and non-Cree groups in the same political unit.I notice some other problems that raise an eyebrow... e.g., a broken link forMosquito-Grizzly Bear's Head-Lean Man that just names the F.N. as "Mosquito Grizzly Bear's Head First Nation" (thus excluding one of the bands, intentionally or accidentally?).Does anyone know what published source this list derives from, or, better still, a published source that this could be compared to (either for verification or improvement)?71.17.90.240 (talk)15:46, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cree →Cree people – for the people76.120.164.90 (talk)21:58, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
User:Isambard Kingdom has twice replaced the photo ofBuffy St. Marie, a notable, living Cree person, with an 1913 black-and-white image of an unknown group of people from theBritish Museum's collection. We don't know who these people are or if they are really Cree, whereas Buffy St. Marie can be identified from similar photos at the same concert. The message the antique, anonymous image sends is pretty obvious—that First Nations people are from the past, not the present, and live in tipis as opposed to having careers in music today. The user has never contributed to the Cree or any other Native article previously, so I'm mystified by her/his insistence, but an image of a living, named tribal member is more accurate than an antique image of anonymous people. Wikipedia exists to share facts not stereotypes.Yuchitown (talk)18:02, 21 December 2015 (UTC)Yuchitown[reply]

I've removedBuffy Sainte-Marie from the list of Cree people following theCBC News article. Sheis an adopted member of thePiapot First Nation, but not indigenous Cree according to that source. If she is added back to this article, there should be an explanatory note.gobonobo+c17:18, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There are a few statements in the Ethnobotany section which seem to be sourced toLeighton, Anna L., 1985, Wild Plant Use by the Woods Cree (Nihithawak) of East-Central Saskatchewan, Ottawa.
Does anybody have access to this source to verify what type of claim is being made? For example, we are saying in wikivoice that the Cree use Vaccinium myrtilloides to “prevent pregnancy”. But does it actually have a contraceptive effect? Or should the wording be something like “traditionally believed to prevent pregnancy”.Barnards.tar.gz (talk)13:36, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
