Good. She's a thief, a fraud, and a liar. She stole these accolades, millions of dollars, fame and fortune from deserving authentic Indigenous talent.
I don't care what she did for #indigenous people, she did it as a #pretendian and that negates the whole thing. She crafted herself as Indigenous when she saw there was a profit to be made.
Disgusting.
Beverley Jean Santamaria, #karma always kicks your butt. I hope you're ashamed of yourself.

Buffy Sainte-Marie has now also been stripped of her Polaris Music Prize, her five Juno Awards, and her induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

Sainte-Marie recently confirmed that she is an American citizen, not a Canadian citizen. Questions remain around her Indigenous identity. Apparently, the awards have been stripped because she doesn't meet eligibility requirements.

Via the #TimesColonist, Feb 07, 2025

The appointment of singer-songwriter #BuffySainteMarie to the #OrderOfCanada has been terminated by Governor General #MarySimon

The move comes after a #CBC report in 2023 questioned Sainte-Marie's #Indigenous heritage, saying it found a birth certificate that indicated she was born in 1941 in #Massachusetts.

Family members in the U.S. told CBC that Sainte-Marie was not adopted and doesn't have Indigenous ancestry

Buffy Sainte-Marie has been stripped of her Order of Canada appointment. First reported in the National Post [1]

If you are new to the story, for more context, I recommend watching the original 2023 CBC investigation by The Fifth Estate [2]

And counterbalancing that by reading Michelle Cyca's article "What's the Point of 'Pretendian' Investiations?" [3]

So, I am well aware of the controversy surrounding #BuffySainteMarie and her heritage. But whether she is a pretendian (she claims to be adopted, something that's been disputed) or not, a lot of Native Americans accepted her as one of their own, and she had her pulse on what was going on with #AIM...

Buffy's Censored Words Led to Revelations in New #LeonardPeltier Film Premiered at Sundance

"My girlfriend Annie Mae talked about uranium
Her head was filled with bullets and her body dumped
The FBI cut off her hands and told us she'd died of Exposure…"
- Buffy Saint Marie, Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee, 1992.

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Feb. 4, 2025

TSAILE, #NavajoNation -- "The words of Buffy Sainte Marie, censored by Indian Country Today, led to revelations about Oglala President Dick Wilson's secret land deal on Pine Ridge in the new film Free
Leonard Peltier, which premiered at Sundance, producer #JesseShortBull told Censored News.

"Buffy's interview at Dine' College in 1999 was censored for seven years. Before I was fired as a staff reporter, a portion of the interview was published by the newspaper -- but one paragraph was still censored. In the still censored portion, Buffy referred to a secret land deal on the day of the shoot out at the #JumpingBull property on #PineRidge. Buffy said, 'Who recalls that on that day one-eighth of the reservation was transferred in secret -- on that day. It was the part containing uranium. That is what never seems to be remembered.'

"Dickie Wilson planned to turn over the #MineralRights in the Badlands to the U.S. government. The U.S. government wanted the land for uranium mining. Dick Wilson's secret plan was discovered in the documents in the BIA file cabinets by the #AmericanIndianMovement, during the takeover of the #BIA building in Washington in 1972.

"Following the premiere of #FreeLeonardPeltier at the Sundance Film Festival, Jesse Short Bull, Oglala Lakota, and director of the film, reveals how Buffy's words led to the search for the facts about #DickWilson's #UraniumMining scheme with the U.S. government. 'Buffy's song about Anna Mae really shocked me, she outlined it so well,' Short Bull said. 'The plans for mineral development for Pine Ridge were discovered at the 1972 BIA takeover, and by the 1980's the big wig energy companies came to Pine Ridge with big ideas for development."

Special for Election Day in America ... 'Disinformation' by Buffy Sainte:Marie

"Coincidence and likely stories
They dog your trail like a pack of lies
They whine at night when the lights are out
You toss and turn
You pitch and roll
Disinformation, you spin it like a silkworm"
