The Cree (historical autonym: Nēhiraw; French: cri) are one of the largest groups of First Nations in North America, with over 200,000 members living in Canada. The major proportion of Cree in Canada live north and west of Lake Superior, in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and the Northwest Territories. About 38,000 live in Quebec.
In the United States, this Algonquian-speaking people historically lived from Lake Superior westward. Today, they live mostly in Montana, where they share a reservation with the Ojibwe (Chippewa).
The documented westward migration over time has been strongly associated with their roles as traders and hunters in the North American Fur Trade.
The Cree are generally divided into eight groups based on dialect and region. These divisions do not necessarily represent ethnic sub-divisions within the larger ethnic group:
Cree is a surname which has several separate origins in England, Scotland and Ireland. It occurs in all those countries today and also in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States. It is of Medium Frequency in Scotland and Northern Ireland (using the benchmarks of the Guild of One-Name Studies) (Spathaky 1998).
Prior to 1989 a few people had already researched their individual Cree ancestry in the UK (notably Brigadier Hilary Cree in Devon and members of the Yorkshire and Glasgow Cree lines). Robert H Cree in the USA had spent a lifetime researching five Cree lines emanating from western Pennsylvania in the late 18th Century. Cree surname research started in earnest in the UK in 1989 with the publication by Trevor Cree of a booklet listing all Cree entries from the Indexes to Birth, Marriages and Deaths (1837-1980) for England and Wales (Cree 1988). Entries from the 1988 IGI (International Genealogical Index) were also included. The surname is registered with the Guild of One-Name Studies.
Cree is an Native American ethnic group.

Come on now, let's go for taxi terror!
Come on!
[Verse I:]
Taxi terror, we are terror on your streets
And all the others will taste defeat
We operate under a nice facade
But we are evil and so are our cars!
Now passengers disappear
And the city starts to fear
But you cannot hold us down
As we terrorize your town!
[Bridge:]
We take you far away
To kill and rape and slay
It happens everyday!
Into the countryside
Somewhere in the night
We play the game of homicide!
[Chorus I:]
Taxi terror - you're trapped under my wheels!
Taxi terror - can you hear his screams?
(Oooooooooooooooohhhhh!!)
[Verse II:]
Take a seat and I will close the door
But it is locked, you scream "What for?"
I step on it and drive like hell
Out of town, in panic you now yell (Help!)
And now we have arrived
You will be sacrificed
You will go to hell tonight
We pray to Satan, when you have died
[Repeat Bridge]
[Chorus II:]
Taxi terror - chained in the back seat!
Taxi terror - You soon will be minced meat!
(Uuuuuuaaaaahhh!)
Taxi terror - we are masters of the streets
Taxi terror - trapped under my wheels
Taxi terror - you soon will be minced meat
Taxi terror - this is how it feels!
(AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!)
Taxi terror! Taxi terror! Taxi terror! Taxi terror!
[Repeat Verse I]
[Repeat Bridge]
