Nishnawbe-Aski
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nishnawbe-Aski, also known as the Oji-Cree, Anishinini or, less correctly, Severn Ojibwe, are a First Nation in the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Manitoba, residing in a narrow band extending from the Missinaibi River region in Northeastern Ontario at the east to Lake Winnipeg at the west.
The Oji-Cree people are descended from historical intermarriage between the Ojibwe and Cree cultures, but are considered a distinct nation from either of their parent groups. They are considered one of the component groups of Anishinaabe, and reside primarily in a transitional zone between traditional Ojibwe lands to their south and traditional Cree lands to their north.
Their language and culture also derive from mixed Ojibwe and Cree traditions. The Anishininimowin language is more closely related to Ojibwe structurally, although its literary tradition more closely resembles Cree.
The Oji-Cree language has about 8,000 speakers.[1]
