Abstract
The late Sarah Whitecalf was born on the Moosomin Reserve in Western Saskatchewan in 1919 and grew up there and on the nearby Sweet Grass Reserve. Raised by her mother and grandparents, she was never sent to school and remained a monolingual speaker of Plains Cree throughout her life. Her last twenty years were spent at Saskatoon, where she became a valued informant for scholars and educators attempting to study or revive Cree traditions.
