  Cree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Skilled buffalo hunters and horsemen, the Cree were allied to the Assiniboine of the Sioux before encountering English and French settlers in the sixteenth century.

As hunters and prime suppliers of pelts the Cree are drawn into the fur trade with the French and the English, soon becoming middlemen by establishing treaties with other First Nations, notably the Plains Assiniboine and the Blackfoot.

 Seeley Logs on Rupert River - Ottertooth
It leaves the river from the north shore, in a shallow bay, where the river jogs 50 yards south before continuing its course and tumbling into the falls (directly across from the 1000 yard portage on the south side).
The section of the river that follows is referred to as “The Fours” (according to Heb) because the brigades, Cree crews who used to supply the Hudson's Bay post a Lac Némiscau by 24-foot canoe (send that length to research Danny), traversed this extended gorge in four portages.
The advantage of the Cree route over the "white route" here is that one does not have to eddy out into the blind bay at the lip of the falls, and one does not have to cross the river below the portage.

 The Plains Cree by David G. Mandelbaum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The Cree of this period use canoes, collect wild rice, gather in large encampments during the annual rendezvous, have pottery water drums, have not yet acquired firearms to any extent, are eager to obtain trade goods, and are friendly to the whites.
The language of the Cree is the same as that of the natives surrounding the Fort, with some slight shift in accent and vocabulary.
The Assiniboin were closely associated with the Cree in almost all their ventures, but differed in that they were more aptly adjusted to the Plains life; the Cree, for instance, do not seem to have taken over the use of the horse very readily.
