Chief Tammy Cook-Searson of the Lac La Ronge First Nation says 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. 

Pride’s career spans more than four decades with sales of more than 70 million records.
