An important language resource that helps intermediate nehiyawewin 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 nehiyawewin 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 graduated from the University of Regina with a BA (Ord) and BA (Adv) and an MA. He's been instructing at First Nations University of Canada since 1986
