Abstract

Describes the complex context of language choice in schools in Cree communities on the east coast of James bay in Quebec before Cree was used as the language of instruction. Four important threads of concern were identified: locus of control, economies of scale, community visions of language and education, and the role of literacies. (Author/VWL)
