This was such an incredible moment. I have never heard our anthem sung so beautifully and I too have waiting many years to hear this again. I remember watching the opening ceremonies and when I heard this rendition, I was moved to tears. Absolutely amazing!!! Thank you so much for posting this.

One doesn't have to be Canadian to be moved by this most outstanding rendition of a national anthem. The expressions on the faces of the singers, the fast moving beat and tri-lingual arrangement. I hope that they;ll use this version again in VANCOUVER. Happy Canada Day from a proud Texan.

It was unique to have O Canada sung in an indigenous language. Respectful.

Rockies77,

This for me was the best moment of the ceremony, the national anthem of Canada sung with in First Nations language. I have waited 21 years to hear this again. Awesome! Thanks thisisabadname.

This is one time you will ever hear the Canadian national anthem in a First Nations tongue.
