Summary | "An important language resource that helps intermediate nãehiyawãetan learners begin to understand more advanced grammar of the language. Building on maci-nehiyawewin / Beginning Cree, Solomon Ratt’s first influential Cree language resource, ahkami-nehiyawetan / Let’s Keep Speaking Cree helps intermediate nehiyawetan learners begin to understand more advanced grammar of the language. The textbook is more than a language textbook though: it includes a series of the author’s original stories written in Cree, complete with comprehension questions, making it ideal for self-study as well as classroom use. Born in a trapper’s cabin on the banks of the Churchill River, just four miles north of Stanley Mission, Saskatchewan, Solomon Ratt spent the first few years of his life travelling up and down the river with his parents until he was taken to the residential school in Prince Albert at the age of six. He graduated from the University of Regina with a BA (Ord) and BA (Adv) and an MA. He has been instructing at First Nations University of Canada since 1986.
