Cree Elders have said that it is here on Turtle Island that Creator placed us nehiyawak who were created from Mother Earth and whom Creator gave us our Cree Language and made us related to everything.
We will be respectfully aware that nehiyawewin is spiritual, designed by Creator, and carries the teachings of our Ancestors who lived on these homelands of Turtle Island for millennia. Through the age-old storytelling methodology each student's speaking proficiency, understanding, and connection to her/his Spirit will grow. Through deeper text-based analysis of their stories, songs, group language activities and relaxed interactive class participation with each other and the Elders/ Language Keepers, the climate will be conducive for a rich mutual learning experience. In this second Intermediate Cree Morphology course we will focus on the vast array of TRANSITIVE VERBS. We will build on the foundation established in the 2 prerequisite Introductory Cree Morphology classes (NEHI 110 & NEHI 111) as well as the first Intermediate NEHI 21 O morphology class which dealt with the Intransitive Verbs. In addition, more exposure will be given to the use of a variety of tenses for both the Transitive & Intransitive Verbs.

Prerequisites: NEHI 110, NEHI 111 and NEHI 210
