Buffy Sainte-Marie

thumb|Buffy Sainte-Marie in 1968 Buffy Sainte-Marie (born February 20, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and social activist. From the early 1960s, Sainte-Marie claimed Indigenous Canadian ancestry, but a 2023 CBC News investigation confirmed she was born in the United States, and is of Italian and English descent. Some Indigenous musicians and organizations called for awards she won while falsely claiming an Indigenous identity to be rescinded. Many of her awards and honours were subsequently revoked or surrendered, including her membership in the Order of Canada, her induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, her Juno Awards, and her Polaris Music Prizes.

Linda Hogan (writer) Introduction to Indios (2012) I always loved Buffy Sainte-Marie. I loved how she would close her eyes when she sang. … She had great movement, and she never hit the mic with her nose! I never got quite as good at it as she was, but I loved that movement.
