Cree Forest Lexicon

The Cree Research & Development Institute is leading an initiative to foster better communication among working groups and Cree land users.  The goal of the Cree Forest Lexicon Project is to develop a forest-based lexicon that will contribute to a more detailed and relevant expression of land users’ concerns and needs during consultations for the General and Annual Forest Management Plans.

The project will capture the linguistic knowledge and terminology of Cree trappers and elders in the five communities affected by forestry.

Phase 1 of the project was completed in 2009, with further funding expected for a final Phase 2 initiative. The result of the project will be a Cree forest lexicon that will be distributed in the five participant communities and among stakeholders involved in consultations.
