Buffy Sainte-Marie

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.
