Buffy Sainte-Marie’s claims to Indigenous ancestry are being contradicted by members of the iconic singer-songwriter’s own family and an extensive CBC investigation.

This world is fucked and these fucking white assholes are fucked.
I’m full blooded indigenous born and raised with my family in the north … my first language is Ojibwe-Cree, I spoke it with my family for the first ten years of my life … and all I’ve ever felt was shame for who I was and where I was born
To hear these revelations about people like Joseph Boyden, judge Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond and professor Carrie Bourassa. … And now Buffy St Marie … I fucking looked up to Buffy, most of indigenous Canada grew up with her.
One of the messed up parts of this story to me is I know and I am friends with lots of Mohawks from Six Nations and I heard many stories from their families about discrimination in southern Ontario. They had second world war veterans who couldn’t even find work because they were Indian so the only way they could get around that was to pass themselves off as ITALIAN!
It’s twisted … Indians were passing themselves off as Italian to avoid being identified as Indian to make a basic living… and at the same time an Italian was passing herself off as Indian and making a fortune.
It makes me feel sick to my core.
That fucking bitch… What a wicked evil person it is to think it’s acceptable to take on the identity of an oppressed people and live off their misery and misfortune.
