Ācaðōhkīwina and Ācimōwina
First published in 1980 by the Canadian Museum of Civilization, this study presents narratives from different genres of Rock Cree oral literature in northwestern Manitoba together with interpretive and comparative commentary. The collection comprises narratives of the trickster-transformer Wisahkicahk, animal-human characters, spirit guardians, the wihtikow or cannibal monster, humorous experiences, sorcery, and early encounters with Catholicism.
The Montana Cree
The Montana Cree is a study of religion as a sustaining force in American Indian life. On the small Rocky Boy reservation in northern Montana, the Cree Indians provide an example of how a people transplanted and persecuted throughout their history can maintain and develop a tribal identity and unity through the continuance of their religious values. As the adopted son of Mose Michelle, a hereditary Pend O’Reille chief, Verne Dusenberry moved easily within Indian circles as an accepted participant-observer in many religious ceremonies. His ethnographic study provides detailed descriptions of ceremonies - the Shaking Tent, Ghost Dance, and Sun Dance - which are seldom accurately described elsewhere.
Cree History and Culture
Careful research combines well-written text and striking images to interest readers in the history and culture of the Cree. Its discussion of Cree history allows readers to view everything from the prehistoric time through the issues the Crees face today. The book examines the Western Woods Crees and the Plains Crees, and explores the impact of European traders, missionaries, and settlers on Cree life. The volume also looks at the traditional cultures of the two Cree groups, including arts, government, religion, and daily life. A timeline offers a history of the Crees at a glance, and additional resources and suggested activities invite readers to delve even deeper into Cree history and culture.

Three Hundred Years in Thirty
Nicholas Smith has maintained a decades-long familiarity with Mistassini, a familiarity documented in his own photographic collection and complemented by his work as an ethnohistorian. His book should provide a welcome personal and historically knowledgeable record of the community. ¿Thomas Stone, Prof. of Anthropology Emeritus, SUNY Potsdam
Emotional Expression Among Cree Indians
"The concept of psychological mindedness is used to describe a person's ability to perceive relationships among thoughts, emotions and actions, in order to learn the meanings and causes of his or her behaviour. Psychological mindedness is clinically important because it influences the efficacy of psychotherapy. Individuals who have difficulty symbolizing and resolving emotional conflict, and verbally expressing their emotions, are considered to lack psychological mindedness, a deficit also known as alexithymia. In this study, Nadia Ferrara examines cultural differences in styles of emotional expression and psychological mindedness by comparing two groups: Euro-Canadians, and Cree Amerindians...
