The divisions of the Cree have changed considerably over time, but they were listed in 1658 as:
- Alimibegouek
- Kilistinons of the bay of Ataotiabouscatouek
- Kilistinons of the Nipisiriniens
- Nisibourounik
In 1856 the 10 Cree bands were recorded by the following names (almost certainly those of the band chiefs or the names of their hunting areas):
Apistekaihe
Cokah
Kiaskusis
Mataitaikeok
Muskwoikakenut
Muskwoikauepawit
Peisiekan
Piskakauakis
Sheunaukau
Wikyuwamkamusenaikata
Eventually the Cree tribe were considered to have 5 divisions:
- Barren Ground Cree
- Albany Cree
- Moosoni
- Swampy Cree (Maskegon)
- Western Woods Cree
The Plains Cree, Naskapi and Montagnais are today considered to be separate but closely related tribes, despite the misinformation provided on Wikipedia (the most efficient source of incorrect and misleading information on the planet).

What was most cree clothing made of?
The Cree were divided into three major groups, Plains Cree, Eastern Cree and Western Cree. The Plains Cree or Kristenaux wore garments of deer, elk or buffalo calf skin with moccasins of deer, moose or elk skin - all of these brain-tanned and smoked to make them soft and fairly waterproof. The Eastern Cree of Canada made their clothes mainly of moose-hide and furs because of the very cold climate. The Western Crees of Hudson's Bay into Alberta and the surrounding area mainly hunted caribou and moose, using the tanned skins for their clothes and moccasins. They used rabbit skins sewn together to make warm robes, as well as entire moose or caribou hides with the hair left on for warmth. When trading posts were established, Hudson's Bay blankets became very popular among the Cree, who used them to make coats, leggings and other items as well as simply for blankets.
