It was such an honour to sing the Canadian national anthem in Cree at the Edmonton @goelks for national truth and reconciliation day, it was such a privilege to sing in my Cree language for all of the children we lost in residential schools and for the survivors who continue to carry those scars. I sang in Cree for them, in honor of the language they were forbidden to speak. Residential schools took away the right of Indigenous children to speak their languages, and because of that, many of our people have lost their connection to their language and for indigenous people it is never too late to learn. I believe that it is important to continue sharing our language and culture with non-Indigenous people, to educate them on the history and truth of residential schools. I’m a granddaughter of residential school survivors, today I continue to honor our Indigenous people and our ancestors for the sacrifices they made for our Indigenous people to be here today🧡 #edmontonelks #performer #artist #nationaltruthandreconciliationday #orangeshirtday #anthem
