Country music legend Charlie Pride was made an honorary member of the Lac La Ronge First Nation following his concert on the First Nation at the end of May. Chief Tammy Cook-Searson said she and the band councillors were so impressed by the singer, they decided to bestow membership on him. Pride was also given a Cree name that means Big Eagle because he arrived by air.
