Anishnaabemowin Version:
http://www.medicinewheelspiritsingers.com/music/song-lyrics/oh-canada-ojibway
Here - where we come from - our land/our home is preciously priceless.
In our hearts - hold with love this gift we are given.
Honour, praise Our Canada; Justly watch over it; Value/appreciate Canada.
In thought be thankful. In thought be thankful.
