The underlying foundations for all elements of this "Cree Language and Culture 12-year Program Guide to Implementation (Kindergarten to Grade 3)" are Cree values--those viewpoints and ways of being that characterize the Cree way of life. They are as important today in educating students in the Cree language and culture as they have ever been. The underlying Cree spiritual value in education is an issue to be dealt with by each education authority or jurisdiction of the community. These values mark the Cree worldview and concern for Mother Earth. They underpin the way the Cree expect people to act in the world. These values are fundamental to the way Cree parents, Elders and the Cree community intend their children to be brought up and educated.
