Those who recorded the period of the fur trade in writing noted a distinction which still exists today between Crees of the coast (Coasters) and Crees from the interior (Inlanders). The inland Crees, more numerous than those of the coast and occupying the land at a distance from the coast, only came to the post once a year to exchange their furs; they were the main suppliers of pelts.  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - Cree%20from%20the%20interior

There are four ways to express an indigenous collectivity in English: 1) with the plural inflection "-s"; 2) if the collectivity does not apply to a subgroup, with the use of the term "nation", as in the Cree nation; 3) with the use of the word "people", as in the Huron and Cree peoples; 4) with the use of the definite article, e.g. The Cree from the interior make up the aboriginal nation occupying the Haute-Mauricie region. Since the "-s" is redundant, this author prefers the use of the definite article (e.g. the Cree, the Haida, etc.). However the use of "nation" is the option preferred most by the Native peoples of Canada, for political reasons.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - Cree%20from%20the%20interior

Les chroniqueurs de l'époque de la traite des fourrures ont noté l'existence d'une distinction, qui s'est perpétuée jusqu'à nos jours, entre les Cris de la côte («Coasters») et les Cris de l'intérieur («Inlanders»).[...] Les Cris de l'intérieur, plus nombreux que ceux de la côte et occupant les terres éloignées ne venaient au poste qu'une fois l'an pour y échanger leurs fourrures. Ils étaient de fait les principaux fournisseurs en pelleteries.  1, fiche 1, Français, - Cri%20de%20l%27int%C3%A9rieur
