Manitoba students Cree rendition of children s song earns praise from Canadian singer Raffi

  WINNIPEG What started out as a class language project about animals of the north for a group of Manitoba students is now garnering attention from an internationally known Canadian singer. With the help of their teacher and class great-grandmother, Kindergarten to Grade Two students from the Isaac Brock Cree Language Immersion Program learned to sing a well-known children’s song “Baby Beluga” in Cree. Colleen Omand, a Cree language bilingual teacher, said the class made a music video using their own drawings with the help of others in the school. Omand submitted the video to the Manitoba Aboriginal Languages Strategy’s Culture and Language contest.
