- the Cree are one of the few First Nations who have a language not considered at risk and still largely spoken
- the Cree are one of the three largest tribes in North America
- the name Cree actually originates in that one of the Cree groups was the first to convert to Christianism (giving them the designation "Christinaux" by the Catholic missionaries). Crees usually refer to themselves as "Eenou or Eeyou", meaning "men"
- the Cree have groups present from Quebec all the way to Alberta and even in northern parts of Montana

- the Cree word for white man is "whem-stook-ooshoo", meaning "from the Island, or from the wooden island" because of the wooden ships the Europeans arrived on.

As already suggested in your other questions of this nature, you need to start with your tribe of enrollment. You cannot be "in" two tribes. Yes, you can be OF two (or more) tribes but you can only be enrolled in ONE tribe. That's both a US and tribal law. So, again, go to your tribe of enrollment. There is only one "benefit" from the United States for enrolled tribal members/citizens and that is access to Indian Health Services. In order to access IHS you need to provide copies of your tribal enrollment paperwork. You get your paperwork from your tribe of enrollment.
If you are not enrolled then you need to get enrolled before you are eligible for IHS. Only enrolled members/citizens of federally recognized tribes are eligible for IHS. There are only 3 federally recognized Cherokee tribes in the US and one Cree tribe in the US (the other Cree tribes are in Canada and don't qualify for US-based programs):
Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma
Eastern Band of Cherokee of North Carolina
United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee
Rocky Boy Chippewa-Cree Tribe
You need to determine which of these tribes your family descends from, contact the tribe directly and request an enrollment packet. If you meet the enrollment requirements you need to complete the paperwork and return it to the tribe. The tribe will make the determination of whether or not you are ultimately enrolled. Assuming that you are you will receive your enrollment certification which can be used to access IHS.

Algonquin Tribe, Cree Tribe, Huron Tribe, Ojibwe Tribe, the Neurtal or Petun tribe, which should I choose? ... for my assignment Considering that I made this question as simple as possible, from what I can see so far I shouldn't take any of these answers seriously. Obviously because I was so specific, I chose these tribes for a reason, they are in Ontario, all I wanted to know was which one you would advise. Algonquin Tribe are a very popular tribe so you probably get information easily. Or there another tribe you can try it's the Innus tribe. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innus

Canadian history about the Woodland Cree Tribe - did they have clans? I'm trying to finish up my history homework and I've hit the books and the internet but I can't find one particular answer... did the Woodland Cree have clans within the tribe? I know they had many bands, does that count? Or who were leaders of the clan? I'm a little confused. Please offer facts and opinions! (Just tell me which one it is.) No they didn't have a clan system.
But there are Oji-Cree (Ojibwa-Cree) and they many follow a clan system.
