Woods Cree is a variety of Cree, spoken in Northern Manitoba and Northern Saskatchewan, Canada. The exact population of Woods Cree speakers is unknown. In 1982 SIL (Summer Institute for Languages) found that the population of Woods Cree speakers was 35,000 people. However, more recently the University of Regina has documented that of the approximately 75,000 speakers of Cree across in Canada, 20,000 of them live in Saskatchewan, which is the main area where Woods Cree is spoken. Not only is this finding much less than the 1982 statistic, but this estimation accounts for all types of spoken Cree, not just Woods Cree spoken in Saskatchewan. Also to consider is the Woods Cree spoken outside of Saskatchewan that is unaccounted for in this statistic.
