Hockey Game on FEB 3rd, 7 p.m. Pacific Time
Please tune into the CBC for the hockey game at 7 p.m. (PT) on
Saturday, Feb 3rd, Calgary @ Vancouver , as the National Anthem will be
sung in Cree, by a 12 year-old girl from Saddle Lake First Nation.
Her name is Akina Shirt and, apparently, this is the first time the Anthem will be sung in another language beside English and French, at a national hockey
league game.
Tis sad I think that we have to have a "first time" for singing/speaking our first nations languages on a national stage in Canada such as the "Hockey Night in Canada"
But I also would like to stand with the rest and congratulate Akina Shirt on her accomplishment!!
way to go...
