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]
