Indigenous Artist Spotlight

Lorrie Church

Canadian country music artist Lorrie Church is a descendent of Cree and Metis ancestors. On the Sweetgrass First Nation Indian Reservation, she is called Wepi Nakwa Mek'Wanak, which translates from the Cree language as Grey Feathers. Sadly cancer claimed Lorrie's life in January of 2017.

Church was a native of Meadowlake, Saskatchewan, where she was one of 16 children in her family. When she was five years old, her mom began instructing her in the art of singing. Shortly thereafter, her grandmother predicted that stardom was in her future, although the older woman did not live to see her words come true. When Church was 12, her father gave her a guitar which began her journey to stardom.
