The Cree form an aboriginal nation of North America. They range from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean in both Canada and the United States. Their ancestral Cree language was once the most widely spoken in northern North America, but now not all Crees are fluent in it. English and French are more commonly used.

They are the largest group of First Nations in Canada with over 200,000 members. The Cree were known for openness to inter-tribal marriage. The Métis are a group of mixed Cree and primarily French Canadian heritage, although it is generally accepted in academic circles that the term Métis can be used to refer to a combination of any Aboriginal and European lineage.

The Cree nation has a group of leaders in the Eeyou Istchee (Cree for Grand Council of the Crees). Its current leader is Grand Chief Ted Moses from Nunavik in northern Quebec.
