Episode 2: The Cree

Welcome back! In this episode the folks are delving deeper into the lore of the First Nations, this time focusing on the Cree of the Great Lakes and Northern Plains region of North America. The Cree are a diverse and adaptable group of people, and the largest of the First Nations alive today. Join us as Terren unpacks their story, creation myth, values, and see what a day in the life was like for these nomadic hunter-gatherers.

Tune in next week to hear Landon talk about the Ojibwe and the folks compare the two Algonquian speaking nations!

Despite an outward persona of the seasoned man of the west you see before you, Terren Coffey might be the furthest thing from that idyllic archetype one could imagine. Currently studying cinematography and film production, Terren is equal parts a student of cinema and obscure fictional universe lore that could never be applied to the real world. He thought there was no better time to start a brand new podcast than the end of the world, so he quit his warehouse job to make the most of the apocalypse and started a pop culture show with his friend Isaac. We hope you enjoy what the boys have to offer to the never ending discussion of entertainment, and have as rootin tootin a time listening as we do creating!
