Considering the amount of land they covered, the geography of the different sections varied, which resulted in groups like the Plains Cree, Woodlands Cree, Swamp Cree, and Eastern Cree.
The Plains Cree comprised majority of the land and population, and mostly resided in Alberta and southern Saskatchewan. With the abundance of flat land, these groups were subject to harsh winters and scarce trees.

Lastly, the land of the Swampy and Eastern Cree bordered Hudson bay and James bay from Winnipeg all the way to Quebec.
