Year of the Métis Tribute<br />

Lyrics by Clint Buehler, Andrea Menard, Donny Parenteau, and Karon Shmon<br />

Music by Dennis Charney<br />

Traditional<br />

Lyrics by Clint Buehler, Music by Dennis Charney<br />

This Proud to be Métis compilation includes the original Proud to be Métis<br />

song as well as a new shorter version written as a Year of the Métis tribute<br />

and masterfully sung by Andrea Menard and Donny Parenteau, complete with<br />

instrumental versions for those who want to sing it themselves. The original<br />

has earned its place as the traditional version and is accepted as the Métis<br />

National Anthem. It was composed in the Seventies by Clint Buehler and Dennis<br />

Charney. The shorter tribute was written during the 2009 National Aboriginal Day<br />

celebrations at Batoche National Historic Site by the collaborative team of Clint<br />

Buehler, Andrea Menard, Donny Parenteau, and Karon Shmon. It celebrates<br />

our proud past and bright future. It is being released in 2010, the Year of the<br />

Métis and the 125th Anniversary of the North West Resistance, as a tribute to<br />

our ancestors, to whom we owe an immeasurable amount of gratitude. Because<br />

of their strength and commitment, we are proud to be Métis.<br />
