Only 120yrs ago my people would swap and share a wife. Our traditional enemies would even bite the nose off their wives if they were guilty of adultery. The women were possessions, and when the whiskey traders came we would sell them so we could get good and drunk. Oh yes, those were the days my friends, thank God they came to an end with the arrival of the men in the scarlet serge.

mlj (or JC), do you have good links or references to books on Cree culture?
Ah, but I was so much older then ... I'm younger than that now

OH MY WORLD!

Hello Udayana,
I have no books on Cree culture. What I know I have learned from my Cree and Blackfoot buddies. The Cree span thousands of miles, from Quebec to here in Alberta, so there is cultural differences between the Cree. My close contact is with the Samson reservation here.
