At the NBA All-Star Game, R&B singer Jully Black made a change to the Canadian national anthem lyrics to recognize Indigenous peoples.
The last official change to Canada’s national anthem was in 2018, when its lyrics were updated to make them gender-neutral, changing “all thy sons command” to “all of us command.”said a Senate statement at the time. There is no proposed legislation to make further changes to the anthem.
“All I can say is ‘good for Jully,’” T. Patrick Carrabré, director of the School of Music at the University of British Columbia, said by email. “I hope that Jully and others who are trying to sing the new Canada into being will be more successful.”a type of formal statement that recognizes Indigenous peoples, to reflect that the faculty is “is located on the traditional, ancestral, and occupied territory” of the Musqueam peoples.
Jay Soule, an artist also known as Chippewar, says that the use of “on native land” is not new. He is the designer of a T-shirt that says “Oh Canada Your Home On Native Land,” which has been selling for about nine years. “When other Native people see this shirt, they say, ‘I’ve been singing it like this since I was a kid’,” he said. Soule added that, when he was growing up, he would often silently mouth the mandatory singing of the national anthem in school.
As for seeing Black change the lyrics at the All-Star Game, Soule added that “seeing it being sung on a national stage is just fantastic.”
