Akina Shirt - Cree Anthem singer - Calgary Flames Hockey

[My360man]

she is nice singer

[DaUsualSuspect1]

Imagine oppressed African Americans in the last 40 years; that's how the Canadian people treat their indigenous ... Canadian "niggers". Be aboriginal in Edmonton or Calgary; tough living.

[jennifer171986]

@DaUsualSuspect1 be first nations in any province is tough. attawpiskat is getting a school now. yay. maybe anyway.

[tmrsi01]

LOVE it.. <33

[butkicker75]

its true that there are many Aboriginal people that give us the bad rep, and it is shame. Thank you very much Akina for showing people that us Native people are not truely bad, god bless you and thanks:)

[lilmisswolf915]

i am proud to be Cree native :)

[ADKubi]

I'm not Cree (although I am partly Aboriginal), but I think that the Cree people are a very important part of Canada and of my home province of Alberta! So it was great to see our anthem sung in Cree before an NHL game.

I have to say as an American that the inclusionary nature of Canadian society is one of the most beautiful things in the world. A great nation full of great people.
