Andrea Menard is a powerhouse Métis performer who has released five award-winning albums. With a voice that is lyrical and raw, she captures the depth, humour and wisdom of her Métis ancestors.  Menard has performed for royalty, prime ministers, residential school survivors, governor-generals and even sang her song “Peace” to the world’s NATO generals. 

Always highlighting her Métis culture and her people’s resilience, Andrea's latest release, Anskoonamakew lii Shansoon is a Michif language album. She worked with 7 Metis language keepers to help preserve the language and culture. 

Andrea's single, “Silent No More” was written as a companion piece for her TEDx talk to end the cycle of violence against Indigenous women and girls. “Where is God in This Place” is Andrea’s single meant to raise awareness about Canada’s traumatic history of Indian Residential Schools. On July 20, 2013 in Batoche, Saskatchewan, Andrea released the single, “Return of the Bell of Batoche” to commemorate the "Return of the Bell" ceremony that finally saw the bell of Batoche come home to the Metis People after 135 years of forced exile.
