Moose Cree
Definition
- Moose Cree is a variety of the Cree macrolanguage spoken mainly in Moose Factory, Ontario. Like other Cree varieties, Moose Cree is classified under the Algonquian branch of the Algic language family. The term Moose Cree is derived either from the toponym Môsoniy, meaning 'Moose Island' or Môso-sîpiy, meaning 'Moose River'. The former is the historical name for the summering grounds of the speakers of this dialect, but has been appropriated by the modern municipality of Moosonee, leaving the island with the official English name of Moose Factory.
