While we’re all in isolation, we’re going to try to post one video a day from Sol’s existing teaching library, and the teaching libraries of some of his friends. Like Sasquatch himself, Solomon Ratt has experience with self isolation. Who better to help out with online Cree lessons for remote learning?
Today we’ve got two videos about numbers. The first is Brian MacDonald’s Numbers song (with SRO spelling corrected below). Second is a teaching video from Solomon Ratt.
This song has been taught at least a million times in Cree country. If only we could count that high!
Sol’s counting video starts with one to ten, then moves into teens, twenties, hundreds, etc., teaching the various suffixes and morphemes you need to count all day.

Hello. What happened to the online videos? I was trying to watch the one on numbers again (Stay home: Learn Cree 10. Numbers), but there seems to be no video link on the page anymore. Help?
Thanks for letting me know – I’ll try to fix them as soon as I’m able.
no video or numbers
Thanks for letting me know. Something has changed in the blog software, and each of these “Stay Home” posts has been affected. I’m fixing them one a time as I’m able (each fix takes about an hour).
It’s taken some time, but this one is fixed. About 14 more to go!
