High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Michif is the language of the Metis people of Canada and the United States, who are the descendants of First Nations women (mainly Cree, Nakota and Ojibwe) and fur trade workers of European ancestry (mainly French Canadians and Scottish Canadians). Nowadays Michif is spoken in scattered Metis communities in the provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba in Canada and in North Dakota. There are some 230 speakers of Mitchif in the United States (down from 390 at the 1990 census ), most of whom live in North Dakota, particularly in the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation. Michif emerged over two hundred years ago as a mixed language (not to be confused with a creole). The language adopted a consistent character between about 1820 and 1840.
