Profile

Buffy Sainte-Marie (born February 20, 1941 in Stoneham, Mass) is a self-identified Cree singer-songwriter, musician, composer, visual artist, pacifist, educator, social activist, and philanthropist.

Her music might generally be categorized as folk and traditional music, though she did record one mostly country album, I'm Gonna Be a Country Girl Again, in Nashville. She also won an Oscar for co-writing "Up Where We Belong" for the "Officer And A Gentleman" film.

Sainte-Marie came under fire in late 2023 for allegedly manufacturing her Native background, according to a CBC documentary.

Wikipedia Information

Buffy Sainte-Marie, (born Beverley Jean Santamaria; February 20, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and social activist. Sainte-Marie's singing and writing repertoire includes subjects of love, war, religion, and mysticism. She has won recognition, awards, and honors for her music as well as her work in education and social activism. In 1983, her co-written song "Up Where We Belong", for the film An Officer and a Gentleman, won the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 55th Academy Awards. The song also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song that same year. Since the early 1960s, Sainte-Marie claimed Indigenous Canadian ancestry, but a 2023 investigation by CBC News concluded she was born in the United States and is of Italian and English descent. Some Indigenous musicians and organizations have since called for awards she won while falsely claiming an Indigenous identity to be rescinded, including her induction to the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. In her work, she has focused on issues facing Indigenous peoples of the United States and Canada.
