  Atikamekw Language
Although a dialect of Cree, Atikamekw is politically a distinct nation, so the language is also often considered separate from Cree – although it is more closely related to other Cree dialects than East Cree is. Atikamekw uses only Roman orthography; it does not have a history of syllabics use that I am aware of.
In the word Atikamekw, the first /k/ is tense; for pronunciation purposes, the word would be written /atiḵamekw/.
Atikamekw writes the letter 〈i〉 to represent the vowel sound /i/~/î/ as well as its consonantal counterpart /y/.

However, relatively little work has been published on the relations between indigenous peoples and Europeans in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries for the region of the St. Lawrence Valley.
Claude Gélinas's work thus makes a very useful contribution, even if the findings of this study of the Atikamekw of the Upper St. Maurice Valley cannot be extrapolated to other larger aboriginal groups that lived in closer proximity to Eurocanadians.
Through a detailed ethnography of the small population of Cree-speaking Atikamekw, Gélinas examines the impact of Eurocanadian trade and missionary activity on a dispersed and isolated group in the period after the end of French rule.
