Iconic singer calls questions hurtful as CBC poised to release probe into her First Nations ancestry
Buffy Sainte-Marie, a musician known for decades of Indigenous activism, says she’s always been honest that she doesn’t know the identity of her birth parents, as a CBC report was expected to question her First Nations ancestry.
Sainte-Marie also posted a video on social media addressing the upcoming episode, saying she has shared her story for 60 years. She called herself “a proud member of the Native community with deep roots in Canada.” Sainte-Marie has repeatedly spoken about her adoption, saying she is First Nations from Canada but was raised by Albert and Winifred Sainte-Marie, the latter who identified as part Mi’kmaq, in Massachusetts.
Starblanket shared oral history saying family had explained that Sainte-Marie was born north of Piapot to a single woman“who could not care for her,” and then gave the baby to an American family who happened to be in the area, the affidavit said.
