Watch a video in which Asani, an Aboriginal women’s a cappella group hailing from Edmonton, Alberta, perform an exhilarating interpretation of “O Canada” at the 2006 Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Their rendition of the Canadian national anthem, sung in English, French, and Cree (an Algonquian language spoken by roughly 117,000 people across Canada), illustrates the intricate cultural diversity of Canada’s peoples.
