'Our home on native land': Jully Black calls for small change to O Canada lyrics
“I wouldn’t have sung it if I didn’t believe it should be this,” Black said in a phone interview.
Black said she’s performed O Canada “more times than she can count” throughout her career, but over the past three years she turned down a number of opportunities to sing it for events while she educated herself about Indigenous rights and reconciliation.“I decided to ask friends who are Indigenous how they felt about me doing the anthem,” she said.
Some have criticized Black’s revision, though this is hardly the first time the words in O Canada have been changed. The new wording of the anthem’s English version became “in all of us command” from “in all thy sons command.”
