National anthem sung in Cree

Tansi nitotemak:

A great story by CBC's Connie Walker about Akina Shirt, the young woman who sang the national anthem in Cree at a hockey game broadcast by Hockey Night in Canada.



Coincidentally, her home reserve is Saddle Lake, one of a number of communities who jointly own the Blue Quills First Nations College. Blue Quills is where I took Cree. Maybe Akina will one day be a student there...

ay-ay,
Rick
