I’m glad she’s still being dragged for this after so many years. She doesn’t seem to think she’s done anything wrong, though.
Oh no not BUFFY SAINTE-MARIE
She co-wrote “Up where we belong”that’s not chopped liver:
The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US and topped the charts in several other countries. It also sold more than one million copies in the US and was recognized by the Recording Industry Association of America as one of the Songs of the Century. Cocker and Warnes were awarded the Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, and Nitzsche, Sainte-Marie, and Jennings won both the Academy Award and Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.
She is doubling down and still insisting she’s indigenous. She’s worse than Rachel Dolezal who faked being black lol
The worst Buffy.
Watch The Fifth Estate episode on CBC about this.
It seems sort of common that fakers will keep changing their origin story, like she did. I wonder why they do that? Why not create one lie and stick with it?
Below is the link to the CBC story on this, with a lot more detail…

Finally. It’s crazy because she was still popping up on „indigenous performers“ recommendation lists and articles.
Her Wikipedia entry on this is wild.
My mum died last year and I’m so glad she never heard about this. She adored Buffy Sainte-Marie
She can identify as whatever she wants.
They gave her a fake degree that they’re taking away because of fake ancestry?
[removed]
I haven’t been following this, but isn’t it something a DNA test would clear up?
According to my DNA, I’m 3% Neanderthal.
All her accomplishments are going down the toilet except the one for deception
It’s Boofy Sainte-Marie, Norm. I said Boofy the first time. -Cliff Clavin, maybe.
DNA test would help clear up any misunderstanding🤔
I’m wondering what Sesame Street will do about her episodes given that she was part of the show in the early days
Finally! This lying bitch.
„Universal Soldier“ still a good folk song though.
Her name ain’t even Buffy, it’s „Sault“
More like Buffy Ain’t Cree amiright
What’s crazy it’s that it’s been an open secret for DECADES that she’s been lying. What took so long for people to finally believe it?
Why was she given the order to begin with. She isnt even Canadian.
There are plenty of Native people who look white, but all those photos of her are *so clearly* a white person pretending to be Native. How on earth was this only recently looked into?
