Best Answer

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.
