Delia Waskewitch (Bull)
Hi my name is Delia original last name is Bull. I grew up and originally came from Little Pine First Nations but am now from Onion Lake.
As a young girl I loved listening to and learning songs!
As a teenager I would sing to my friends and sang for the first time in public at school! After singing I decided I’d learn how to play guitar!
I started writing my own songs at school since we were learning how to write poetry! I started singing powwow at 18, and have travelled across Canada and USA for singing. Love and enjoy singing! I am grateful for singing as it has helped me many times. Ay hay Delia.
