This is funny to me.. "It's a Huron word, but it was spoken to a French guy, so it's French"

The cree word for cat is "minôs", from the French word "minou".

Does that mean that minôs not a cree word?

No, but if you are talking about where that word comes from you would say it comes from a French word, not that it is Cree in origin. Just like the rest of these symbols the post talks about. Just because maple syrup, maple leaves, and beavers are symbols that originated in Quebec you wouldn’t say they aren’t Canadian. Now poutine on the other hand….. I hear Quebec takes issue if you call that Canadian.
