The focus of instruction is Cree as spoken on the east coast of James Bay, and lessons are presented with the participation of residents from Wemindji and Eastmain.

The sub-series also contains one folder of plastic sleeves holding 25 compact discs. Discs are labeled to correspond to audio cassettes in the A3 series, likely from an earlier format transfer project.
