The Milton Public Library is showcasing an exhibit highlighting the history, culture, and importance of the Cree language in Canada.

Cree: The People’s Language is presented by the Canadian Language Museum and features six colourful panels with maps, photographs, interactive information, and audio recordings from Cree-speaking communities across the country.

This exhibit explores Cree, which is the most widely spoken Indigenous language in Canada. More than 100,000 Canadians reported a Cree dialect as their mother tongue, with Cree-speaking communities stretching from the Atlantic coast to the Rocky Mountains.

It’s on display in the Beaty Lounge at the Beaty Branch until Saturday, September 26th.
