  3. Hi Delvin. I teach at St. Angela school and you have facilitated many activities with me. My name is Caron B. Would you have a CD of the Cree version of Oh Canada we could play over the intercom? Perhaps I could transfer your recording onto a memory stick but I am unsure if that is compatible with the PA system. Maybe you know of a recording I could purchase for our school. I would appreciate hearing back from you. Thanks. Caron Brannen
    P.S. You are a good singer.

    2. Sadly, that is not the translation. That is the westernized version. Additional research to learn the true meaning in Cree will tell of a very, very different tale and one substantially more fitting!
