Originally inhabiting a smaller area, they expanded rapidly in the 17th and 18th centuries acquiring firearms through the fur trade, although wars with the Dakota Sioux and Blackfoot, and a severe smallpox epidemic, greatly reduced their numbers. The name Cree is a truncated form of Kristineaux, a French adaptation of the self-name of the James Bay band. ]]></termNote><termCreatedDate>2026-03-30 20:49:01</termCreatedDate><relation><relationType>BT</relationType><termId>31365306</termId><termName>Eastern Subarctic Native American styles</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation><relation><relationType>RT</relationType><termId>31329879</termId><termName>Cree</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation><relation><relationType>RT</relationType><termId>31399769</termId><termName>misko takiy</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation></term>  </Zthes>
