Buffy Sainte Marie Investigation Hurts Indigenous Communities
Buffy Sainte Marie, a beloved Indigenous icon in Canada and the US, has been exposed for falsely claiming Indigenous identity. This carries massive implications across Indigenous communities, Canadians, and the United States.
The investigation uncovered that she was not in fact adopted into a caucasian family, but instead they are her actual birth parents.
This reveal was quite literally history being made, yet the consequences from it are far from positive.
On one hand, we have a beloved Canadian-Indigenous icon who has falsely claimed their Indigeneity. On the other, we have an entire community of Indigenous people in mourning, and deeply affected due to the implications that this situation has brought forth.
After watching the documentary, it was quite shocking for me, and I took some time to carefully gather my thoughts and feelings about it - in order to be as helpful to those of you who are affected by this - and those of you who are incredible allies constantly seeking ways to support in an authentic way, so stay tuned to the end where I’ll share how exactly you can help with this - because I promise you, this is GOING to ignite a wave of more complexities.
