Andrea Menard is an accomplished Métis singer/songwriter, actor, speaker, wellness trainer, retreat host, and the founder of the Sacred Feminine Learning Lodge. As seen in USA Today, Andrea is a top influencer in Feminine leadership and was named one of Women Executive Network’s (WXN) Canada’s Most Powerful Women: Top 100 Award Winner in 2020.
Over the last year, Andrea Menard traveled across the Métis Homeland to work with various Elders and Language Keepers for the creation of 11 new Michif language songs. This compilation of prayer and community songs is called Anskoonamakew lii Shansoon, which means Giveaway Songs.
Because the Metis people were a traveling people, the Michif language is a "traveling" language as well. The language and dialects differ from region to region because most Métis people were multi-lingual and communicated with the various peoples who lived around their specific communities. Andrea tried to incorporate as many dialects as possible.
With very few Michif speakers left, Andrea created this collection of Michif language songs to preserve the Michif language. She wanted to give the next generation of speakers tools to keep learning. Anskoonamakew lii Shansoon include songs for Grandmother Moon, Water prayer songs, a Fire honour song, healing songs, teaching songs, as well as storytelling ballads, and even a funny, raunchy community song. Andrea knows the Métis heart and tried to capture that faithful, indomitable spirit in every song.
Anskoonamakew lii Shansoon means Giveaway Songs. As Andrea says, “A giveaway is a powerful statement of trust. To trust in Creator. To trust in reciprocity. To trust that good actions flow back to you in good way. I trust that these ten giveaway songs will travel out in a good way for the betterment of our people.” Andrea also honours Elder Tom McCallum and Verna DeMontigny for helping her find the name, Anskoonamakew lii Shansoon, for this collection of ten Michif language songs.
