The Western Woods Cree lived aboriginally in the boreal forests from Hudson and James Bays westward to the Peace River in Canada. In the early twenty-first century they are found primarily in the region between Lake Superior and Hudson Bay. Traditionally, the Western Woods Cree were nomadic hunters, depending largely on big game. Their settlements varied seasonally--large regional bands gathered together in the summer, but the bands dispersed into small, widely distributed camps the rest of the year. Settlements became increasingly sedentary at the end of the 19th century; in the mid-twentieth century government programs promoted nucleated villages.
