Libraries Are For Everyone: Cree

ByHafuboti

Laura and her team at Native Languages of the Americas continue to send me new translations, and I am thrilled. I wrote more about this wonderful non-profit in my Hopi LAFE post and I ask that you consider helping this organization in any way possible.

Thank you to everyone involved in getting making these Cree signs possible!!!

UPDATE: Someone asked what dialect this translation was in and I had no idea. Therefore, I reached back out to our Cree translator and she says that this is a dialect of the Plains Cree specific to the Cree tribe of Rocky Boy Montana.

If you would like your Cree dialect represented, then don’t hesitate to reach out to me and I will happily create a sign set!

Furthermore, I was given the Latin characters and how to break them up without losing their meaning from the same wonderful translator.

Over the past several days we have had several parents ask us where our Halloween books are. I think that we were all a little taken aback, but as our newest team member Julia said, “the stores have the Halloween stuff out, so it’s on parents’ and kids’ minds.” Plus, it definitely feels like autumn…
