	Atikamekw - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Atikamekw are the indigenous inhabitants of the area they refer to as Nitaskinan ("Our Land"), in the upper St. Maurice valley of Québec.
		They have close traditional ties with the Innu people, who were their historical allies against the Inuit.
		Atikamekw, a language of the Cree subgroup of Algonquian, is still in everyday use, but their land has largely been appropriated by logging companies and their ancient way of life is almost extinct.

	Cree language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cree is the name for a group of closely-related Algonquian languages spoken by approximately 50,000 speakers across Canada, from Alberta to Labrador.
		This is similar to the alternation in the Siouan languages Dakota, Nakota, and Lakota, or the evolution of the Old Church Slavonic vowel yat into different present-day Slavic languages.
		Cree is one of the seven official languages of the Northwest Territories, but is only spoken by a small number of people there in the area around the town of Fort Smith.

	Atikamekw Language
		The Cree language is typically divided into dialects based on the pronunciation of the Proto-Algonquian (the ancient “mother” language of the Algonquian people) sound *l, although the dialect situation is somewhat more complicated then that.
		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.
		Atikamekw writes the letter 〈i〉 to represent the vowel sound /i/~/î/ as well as its consonantal counterpart /y/.

		The Algonquian (also Algonkian) languages are a subfamily of Native American languages that includes most of the languages in the Algic language family (the two Algic languages that are not Algonquian are Wiyot and Yurok of northwestern California).
		The politics of language, particularly concerning language policy regarding the teaching and official use of immigrant languages is a major political issue in the state.
		Algonquin is an Algonquian language, of the Algic family of languages, and is descended from Proto-Algonquian.

	Atikamekw
		The Atikamekw are the indigenous inhabitants of the area they refer to as Nitaskinan, in the upper St. Maurice valley of Québec.
		The Atikamekw language[?], which is related to Cree, is still in everyday use, but their land has largely been appropriated by logging companies and their ancient way of life is almost extinct.
		They have close traditional ties with the Innu people, who were their historical allies against the Inuit, but they are unrelated: their language and culture is quite distinct.

	[No title]
		It is not so much a language, as a chain of dialects, where speakers from one community can very easily understand their neighbours, but a Plains Cree speaker from Alberta would find a Québec Cree speaker difficult to speak to without practice.
		Is the language spoken in Waswanipi: Cree or Innu (Montagnais)?
		Atikamekw is usually considered a separate language (which uses Roman orthography, and where the second language is French rather than English), and will be treated in a separate section.

	Chapter 5 Contemporary Atikamekw occupation and use of Nitaskinan
		Atikamekw language terms will be used extensively in this chapter to indicate Atikamekw practices; a glossary is provided in Annexe A. In particular, the term notcimik indicates the part of Nitaskinan frequented or occupied by an Atikamekw (see section 5.4).
		The use of the Atikamekw language in interviews, and throughout the community of Wemotaci, illustrates its importance for the Atikamekw.
		This sub-study demonstrates extent of Atikamekw utilisation and occupation of the study zone, and indicates the complexity of contemporary Atikamekw occupation of Nitaskinan.

	Unasylva - No. 214/215 - FOREST MANAGEMENT AT THE XII WORLD FORESTRY CONGRESS
		The forests are the traditional lands of the Atikamekw, who led a semi-nomadic life based on hunting and trapping until the early part of the twentieth century.
		Since the 1700s the Atikamekw have adapted their lifestyle to outside influences such as the fur trade, missionaries, a railway, hydro-electric development and the forest industry.
		Terms from the Atikamekw language, which is still in everyday use at Wemotaci, reveal the Atikamekw view of living in forests.

		Algonquian languages are also spoken across most of Canada and down to the Plains in the U.S Midwest: languages like Shawnee, Fox, Potawatomi, Cree, Cheyenne, and Blackfoot.
		The majority of extinct Algonquian languages were spoken in the Northeast and along the Atlantic seaboard.
		The Algonquian language family should be carefully distinguished from Algonquin, which is only one language of the family.

	Introduction
		The importance of the Atikamekw language is discussed in greater detail in Chapter 5.
		A glossary of Atikamekw and French language terms, the names of organisations and other abbreviations is provided in Annexe A. When referring to either the Atikamekw or the Québécois (residents of Québec province) I use the terms as written in their language.
		The use of a phrase such as “Atikamekw use of the forest” suggests a perception that is based on the view of the forest industry, not on that of the Atikamekw.

	Attikamekw Language and the Attikamekw Indian Tribe (Attikamek, Atikamekw, Atikamek, Attimewk)
		Language: Attikamekw or Tête-de-Boule is an Algonquian language closely related to Cree; indeed, some consider it to be a dialect of Cree.
		The entire Atikamekw tribe (four to five thousand in total) speaks their native language, but few are literate in it, and the lack of printed materials in Attikamekw has some Indian language advocates concerned about the future of the language.
		The Attikamekw (also known as the Attikameks, Atikameks, Atikamekw, or Tete-de-Boule) are traditional allies of the Montagnais (Innu) and adversaries of the Inuit.

	ACLA - Revue, Vol. 1
		However, immersion teachers are still able to bring language form back into focus, without breaking the flow of interaction, by briefly engaging in the negotiation of form with students and then continuing to interact with them about content.
		Chez les Atikamekw en particulier, presque tout le monde a encore l’atikamekw comme langue maternelle.
		In light of this, the problems raised by certain verbal tasks required of the students are discussed, where it appears that language pedagogy, that of the L1 as well as that of the L2, must take into account the ethnolinguistic characteristics of the students’ social background.

	Nov/96: Atikamewk from Manawan on the move!
		Since early October, the Atikamekw of the Haute-Mauricie region have been occupying land located 40 kilometers from Manawan in order to keep an eye on logging companies' abusive practices.
		There was a time when young and old felt exhausted, there was a lot of anger and they wanted to resort to much stronger acts in order to assert their sovereignty on the land.
		A project in which all of the natural resources on the land, like the forest, the fish, the animals, would be considered and managed in a holistic or integrated manner.

	Attikameks
		This basically peace-loving people almost totally disappeared in the second half of the 17th century as the result of epidemics and incessant attacks by the Iroquois who were in the midst of a fur war.
		In the 20th century, Attikamek society was shaken in turn by the intensive exploitation of the territory accompanied by the construction of lumber mills and the railway, and by the construction of dams, the reservoirs of which flooded this society’s lands.
		Since then, it is the Council of the Atikamekw Nation that has been conducting the nation’s comprehensive territorial negotiations with the governments of Québec and Canada with a view to obtaining recognition of aboriginal and territorial rights along with recognition of the right to self-government.
