Cree Language Learning
The 2026 Manitoba Winter Games powered by Manitoba Hydro Host Society acknowledges we are signatories of Treaty Five and that we reside in the traditional territory
of Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation. Thompson, Manitoba is located on the traditional and ancestral lands of the Nehetho/Ininiw, Denesųłiné , Métis, Inuit, and Anishinaabe
nations. We have partnered with Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO) to translate many common words and sport phrases into Swampy Cree, with a dialect from
Pimicikamak Cree Nation. Take a listen by clicking the buttons below!
