the plains cree had prairie land whereas the woodlands cree
lived in a more lively habitat.
The Plains Cree used to live in tepees and hunted mainly
buffalo, much like the other neighboring plains nations; with the
advent of the horse these Plains cultures flourished.
Woodlands Cree lived in wigwams (conical structures) similar to
the plains, but hunted moose, deer and fished. Woodland Cree
commuted the rivers in canoes as a means of transport.
There are also dialect differences with some Woodlands and
Plains Cree. Also, the dialect of "Y" is used by the Plains Cree
and some Woodlands Cree use the "TH" dialect. The Plains Cree also
tend to speak in a more sedate (slower) manner and the northern
Woodlands speak faster.
