Geography

CREE GEOGRAPHY The Cree once lived in a huge area from western Quebec to eastern Alberta. There were two major divisions: the Woodland Cree and the Plains Cree, both of which were typical goverments of American Subarctic peoples. The Cree are one of the largest Native American groups in Canada. They originally lived in the forests of eastern Canada. In the 1800s the Cree lost much of their land to white settlers. Most Cree settled on reservations that the Canadian government set aside for them. At the end of the 20th century more than 60,000 Cree lived in Canada. About 2,500 Cree lived in the United States.
