This article describes a journey and a rediscovery of what it meant and means to speak from a Cree worldview. The way I was raised created my identity as a "nehiyaw" and to my having a Cree worldview; however, I lost these concepts when I started school and moved to the city. Later, in my adult years, I began re-learning my own history and language. Participating in a Cree immersion camp helped me to regain the Cree literacy that I had lost or forgotten. To understand the structure of the Cree language and philosophy, I looked to childhood memories and graduate-level classes that drew on Indigenous peoples' knowledge. Both memories and classes added to my Cree state of being, which resulted in my becoming a whole and complete nehiyaw--"an exact person." (Contains 1 footnote.)
