About the Book
What happens when you combine social media with the most widely spoken Indigenous language in Canada? You get Cree translations of Star Wars, "double-double," and the buffalo hunt--and the opportunity to see the world in another way. Based on a series of Facebook posts, 100 Days of Cree demonstrates why this funny, vibrant, and sometimes salacious language is the "sexiest" of them all.
