Shania was raised in the Ojibway culture, but her biological father was part Cree.
Her mother and stepfather died in a car accident in 1987 when Shania was 22. She helped raise her sisters and two brothers, earning money by singing at the Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville, Ontario.
She was just the second solo female artist (after Whitney Houston) with two albums that sold over 10 million copies each: The Woman in Me and Come on Over. She was the first to do it with back-to-back releases.
