I wanted to here the songs sung in Cree but could not get them to play.
Hi there. I can only tell you it was successfully played on many other computers yesterday. Wish I knew how to help, but we just don’t have technical resources. Sorry!
Do you have Away in a Manger in Cree?
Hi Louisa – Did you find it?

How can I order the CD?
I am looking for the lyrics for a song sung by Delores Sand. its a Christmas song called Awa kihci manito. can some one help me?
Hi Louise – I’ll pass on your request.
hi there! i was wondering if carol of the bells or these are a few of my favourite things have been done in cree and where i might find them?
I haven’t seen either of these: perhaps we’ll have to ask Santa!
Do you have Frosty The Snowman
I’ll pass on the suggestion to Dolores Sand – but I’m not sure when she’ll have a chance. Sorry!
Hello,
I am wondering if I need permission from the translator/Dolores herself to use and sing the Cree version of Silent Night for a Christmas concert at an Elementary school in Edmonton? Please advise, as I know some songs need to be gifted and used with permission. Thank you!
Hi Genevieve,
Thanks for asking about permission. We’re happy to have any of our material used for educational purposes, so long as it’s not ever sold.
Best to you and your students!
