Manitoba tribe (4)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
cree
'manitoba tribe' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for cree that I've seen before include "Soften up" , "tribesman" , "tribe" , "Native American language" , "North American native" .)
